IC just reported significant wind change, requesting 2 type 1 strike teams immediate need. Fire burning back towards the Salinas Valley

Yep. Like clock work everyday at 1:30 its slightly calmer when we have powerful high pressures present but once it diminishes its on.

IC added a couple more strike teams to his request…guessing its going to be tough to fill. Now no divert on ALL tankers, life threat with firefighters doing evacs

No divert on all tankers, for life threat. Fire is getting down in to the structures now.

Also correct going to be difficult to get out in front of this when and if it starts running parallel the valley after its out of its shelter.
