Looks like Richardson Springs cam is done, the clock seems to have stopped.
Anymore information on the evacuation from the radio towers?

Last I heard they said the road was not so badly impacted as they thought and might be going by ground, but that was a short while ago.

From Butte WX Potter on Facebook:
From a friend “They are going to get the people trapped at the radio towers on cohasset road and lead them through our logging area to HWY32” “SPI is on the way up…. We’ve unlocked all the gates and are going out to get them now. It’s about 15 miles through to 32 but, they’ll lead them out.” “Just let them know SPI is sending their loggers out to help evacuate people to Hwy 32”

Haven’t seen any mapping aircraft on scene yet, but I agree… if anybody has access to that info @pyrogeography does

Looking on satellite imagery there is very obvious fuels treatment and thinning on cohasset Rd starting at the antenna farms moving NE. Looks like this day has been planned for heading towards Campbellville… looks 400 ft wide treated for nearly 5 miles
