LOL Harry, yeah, that no power gets you back to things that you sort of ummmm.. forgot about LOL!
The media has cooperated with the police and fire agencies, and have reported very little about any of the fires. They have to announce evactes and such, but they've been playing it down for over a year. This person is getting closer and closer to in town homes. The last two fires could have wiped out hundreds of homes, given the chance!
LOL Yanita! I don't sleep with one eye open. I'm a very light sleeper, and I live 3 blocks from the fire department. Once I hear those sirens go off, I'm up and have the scanner on. I sleep with both ears on call LOL! Oh yeah, and I'm up at my cousin's cabin, in Tahoe again, that's where I was time I got pics from Ryan! I can't stress over it. What will happen will happen! I really need the break LOL!
Greg, My thinking is this person started out lighting these in the hills. He/she has gotten away with a lot! They're feeling very confidant and are getting closer to structures. Sort of boasting in a way. Normally, this is when those type of folks make their mistakes.
The one thing that is consistent, is that the fires start in a circle around the Truckee Meadows. North, northeast, southeast, south, southwest... ya get the idea. Each time the circle closes in tighter to housing projects. I figure I have a week or two before I have to stress again! They'll get sloppy and caught eventually. It's just a matter of time!
Of course, we do have the problem of very little precip here over the last year. That will add the fire season, not only here, but all over the West and Southwest!
Off for the night! Going fishing tomorrow!
