There’s large KV lines in that viewing area , I thought I saw a flash and then ? I would have thought power would have been rerouted?

I see Paradise and Magalia under evac warning. They just activated warning status for Magalia. Not sure why.

Those are 2 of the 3 500 kilovolt lines from north to south. Major critical transmission of power for all of California. IDK what the plan is with them but they are very critical in times of high power demand. The other one is on the other side of I-5 out of the area but the 2 run side by side here and the fire has them right in the middle.

The fire has burned over 40 miles in about 54 hours. By my estimation it is now over 300,000 acres. Here is a map showing what else is within 40 miles of the most active portions. (Rings at 10 mile intervals).
2021 Dixie Fire in blue, at top.
Not saying it’s going to Burney, but just wanted to share this for a sense of scale.

So the big question is: When it hits any portion of the Dixie scar will that slow it enough to get a handle on it? I am hoping it could be at 89 above Mineral?

YES! Unfortunately most humans need to be schooled that there is the fire in whatever shape/form, there is safety & there is risk! Those are 3 separate things. This reminds me, wouldn’t it be helpful as heck if everyone understood power of fire vs power of the wind concept? This is bueno!! Thanx for sharing…
