    It was hot when the wind changed.
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    I lied. Earlier I saw some Twitter stuff about the Valley Fire, but we were heading out the door to a wedding so didn't follow up on it. Then while driving from Healdsburg to Calistoga I thought I was looking at a big smoke plume off to the left (north), but figured I was just seeing things because the clouds were weird. Nope, 25,000 acres this afternoon. Middletown/Cobb area is on fire, apparently a number of structures gone this afternoon.

    As of early this AM.

    "The Valley Incident has grown to 40,000 acres, 0% containment. The fire is burning in a south east direction from the Community of Cobb towards the communities of Middletown and Hidden Valley Lake. The fire is also burning north east from the Community of Cobb near the Community of Loch Lomond to Seiglar Canyon Road.
    There have been an unconfirmed number of structures destroyed. There are over 5000 residence without power. During initial attack four members of Copter 104's crew suffered burn injuries and were transported to an area burn center. Additional resources are on order and responding to this incident."

    Yeah, was following him last night. Crazy shit.

    It appears that much of the town of Middletown burned to the ground last night. Nightmare scenario. We'll be lucky if nobody died.

    Fuck man. Jibmaster, who has posted endless stoke from Shasta and the Mendocino County peaks over the years here and elsewhere, lives in Angwin. Fire spreading in that direction last night.

    Looks like Middletown got pretty fucked up. Amazing imagery coming out of there. My sympathies.

    My little bro is battling that fire, he says its like no fire he has seen before and he has been fighting fire for his whole life. Super sad seeing all those homes gone and the town. Hits close to my bro and I as our moms home was lost to fire a while ago, she barely got out with just her animals.

    Weird coincidence. Wedding I went to in Calistoga last night was my buddy whose family lost their house and everything in it in the Cedar Fire in 2003. Sucks.

    Raining at my place. Probably fire influenced. I'm liking it. Temp is 20* lower than a couple days ago.

    ^^^ Apparently minimal growth on the Butte Fire today and a significant containment increase, along with some evacuees being allowed back in. Good news. Weather next couple of days looks promising, assuming doesn't get too windy.

    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.
