These are one the east edge of the burn area.... The road they are on is Eagle Vista... about 4.5 miles up Kuehster Rd. my house is on that same line, maybe .8 miles north/northeast.

Thanks for all the thoughts folks... from arial shots took this am... It looks like we are OK. Fire took out a firewood rack 20' from our house and burned grass up to the rear deck... But as of this morning we still have a house... Our thoughts and concerns are with all those of our friends who have lost their homes... and with the family of the one we lost...

Thanks netdude for the update!

And yes after we saw the kdvr video with the tower we got our bearings. We know a number of people in the area and have pretty well established for some the status of their home.

Netdude. So glad you are okay. So sorry about the situation with your neighbors.

Channel 7 just reported a second fatality.
