Thanks to Becky and Mirror on EGbound.com for pointing out this is close to you guys.

Level 3 evac call came into Mountain Dollar around 3:00.

We are taking video of the store just in case then we will be headed home.

The fire still appears to be far from the store but traffic is backing up around the Lake pretty good.

And Pinecam is shut down. Interesting community resource. Also interesting that the newscasters have no clue where Evergreen, Brook Forest, and the Outdoor Lab are.
Lets all PANIC !!!! I hope all that are in harms way, are safe and the firefighters are safe as well.

So far not hearing about any serious danger issues right now. Hoping for everyone.

God help us.

Still haven't heard back from my close friend that lives off of Snowshoe. I think he's screwed on getting in there, it's all locked down. I don't usually pray but right now I am. It's being contained but could get out of control very quickly. This is why I will give the fire dept. any money that they ask for. Food for thought and not a discussion for right now btw. Just food for thought.

Hope this can be rapidly "contained" Tough area....canyons and steep mountains.

Note that usually firefighters except for air tankers cannot directly impact a fire up here.....containment is about all that can be done IF that. Most of these just burn themselves out......after a lot of real damage. Gonna be a long summer.

Keeping an eye on things- I'm outside the evac zone, but JUST outside of it.
