Which part of the fire is that
west of greenville
Freakin’ Mordor.
Higgins, you’ve given us all a front row view to the destruction of some of our favorite places.
Why can’t I stop looking?
Hope I can get these images out of my head at some point.
I’d thank you, but I’m not sure I needed to see this go down in such vivid color.
If I understand flir you are not looking at flame, you are looking at heat. So, down low, probably flame up higher superheated air and smoke. Can anyone confirm.
Yeah, What you said. Mesmerizing but horrible to watch…
Considering the wind/weather forecasts for the next few days, it is almost unimaginable to consider what is next.
So true buddy scary but draws you in ,just like seeing those giant headers ,horribly beautiful
I believe your assumption is correct…
More than forty years here, and last week is the only time I can recall there ever being even an evacuation warning, much less a mandatory. I might not have noticed one as a kid.
I’m not entirely convinced it’s going to come up against the edge of town - there are some good natural and artificial obstacles, and there’s a line of fairly well-logged forest running north-south parallel to 89 west of the lake and continuing up the east flank of Stover. There’s also the Super Ditch (the Bypass Channel or whatever it’s officially called), a nice big rock-lined break, along with the lake itself. Or maybe I’m just being overly optimistic.
Having said that … even thinned forests can carry a crowning fire with strong winds, and wide obstacles like the lake between West Shore and the Penninsula can be jumped.
I hear ya, I think most fire cameras at big sites will be like this before next fire season. These cameras on Dyer Mnt were the pilot…
I would imagine (hope) that the FLIR cams are being recorded and some wizard will share the vids at some point.
Phenomenal stuff.
Hats off to the folks behind getting the cams on Dyer!
just reminding everyone enthralled with the flir streaming pictures, keep in mind you are looking at Heat not flames in the upper parts of the pictures. The flame is down by the trees and the heat can tower up much higher as it is drug up in the convection column.
Per CHP, Fire bumping 89 at Wolf Creek just North of Greenville
Another great shot from above
Spotting will be the issue…most of those “barriers” will have zero affect if the fire is spotting a mile plus
200,000 images so far I believe.
