Sarah: Holy cow those places are all far beyond the fire’s footprint from last night’s branch map i looked at early this morning. I imagine that map is quite outdated now after last night/this morning’s winds.
Live map. It updates every 4-6 hours.
No problem! It has surely changed. I like these footprint maps since I use a few different “live” trackers. But, they aren’t really being updated frequently enough compared to how the fire is growing. I appreciate you sharing them when you do.
