    I know you must be tired after the last few days but it’s really appreciated. The fact that you know the area like a lot of us makes it so much easier to understand what and where things are happening. Thanks again
  • That remarkable alignment has so far saved my house on west branch. They have video footage of them fighting HARD to prevent it crossing 32. I’ve never seen such concentrated effort on a specific area. I feel like my house is the zone that is the protection center to prevent a spillover into west branch and then threaten magalia. My parents built the house in 1976 no telephone lines or television. I just bought it out from my parents I worked “14 hours 7 days a week” as my saying went, somewhat exaggerated, for many years sacrificing many things in my life so I could own my sacred land. It’s in that last zone that hasn’t burned in over 100 years. Couple small lightning ones a few years ago. But I have 200 year old trees on my land. I had some die from the drought I cut and did a significant amount of thinning on the house side of the land and even the medium size trees were 100-120 years old. Interesting cuz one of the largest ones that died was 90. Goes to show depending on light and water that a way bigger tree can be younger than a stunted smaller tree. I am going to hire a crew to really clean up the 18 acres on the upper eastern side of the property if I make it. Thinking of making it a future retreat grounds or something I’m not sure. Fingers crossed. I was born there in 1983 it’s magical there i hope to pass it to my future children. Man cal fire was up there crushing it. Had dozens of fire trucks and men on the ground whenever it tried to cross and working next to an inferno as the pines right along the western side of the highway were blazing at a maximum. Hero’s

    Impressive views, thanks to ESA and this channel. Far better than the Olympics, whatever that is. 😄 Fascinating.

    Can you share a link to the satellite map you're using?
