Honest question, how much of a scar is that at this point?

Watched that last night. Very good info and explained in a way that most people can understand. Nice job Zeke!

Not familiar with the area but is the Indian Ridge cam looking right at Mountain Meadow Reservoir??? Looking at the smoke column north of the lake is Westwood and looks to be poised to run right through it…if not there already.
This is Round Valley Reservoir looking towards Greenville.

Believe I just heard that thunder was reported from the plume, which isn’t terribly surprising given that plume echo tops are somewhere around 28k feet on radar and conditions are pretty unstable

Mt Meadows (or as the locals call it Walker lake) is on the other side of that column. You can see Round Valley Res in that pic. Westwood was told to evacuate.

"Did the Team’s Plan Really Fail?"
Based on what happened in this thread a couple of days ago I decided to try and put the discussion of “failed plans” into better perspective and maybe provide some help for those new to incident management or not familiar with how incident management works. As a result, I wrote a “short” 3 part summary in the General Discussion section, titled “Did the Teams Plan Really Fail?”
Based on current fire activity this may not be the time for this distraction, but before you make any statement about failed plans on this or any thread, I suggest or request that you read it. Some may find it educational and enlightening. It is only a 5 minute read

As the shortwave moves in conditions will be perfect for a downstream pyrcumulonimbus cloud that produces lightning.
Conditions already seen on the Antelope Fire.

Per Westwood Needs Facebook Page, Westwood CSD is begging people to conserve water in Westwood as the power to the pumps that supply the water system are without PG&E power and relying on generator power to operate. They don’t know if they’ll be able to refuel the generators as fire approaches.

If I may ask, how will this effect fire suppression efforts? Do they have a hydrant system? I am not familiar with the area. Given the extreme fire behavior, and what happened to Greenville, I would expect most people to be gone.
