The big one is aligned with slope towards Portola (I grew up in Portola so know the area fairly well). There are roads all over that country so maybe they find a good place to stop it.

I have family living near Bucks Lake. They told me moments ago and intense lightning storm passed about an hour ago. No rain in their area.

Quite a ways. Beckworth was on the other side of 70…so maybe 6 miles or so as the crow flies.

I was hoping that the cumulous I saw from Auburn wasn’t this thing. Unfortunately the Price was Wrong

Seems like so far this year anything that gets started gets its legs rather quickly.

What is the little bright spot right at 270’ on Beckwourth 1? I hope that’s not
flame-age. Kinda hard to tell.

I think you’re right. I didn’t know about the arrows to navigate the time on the big view below. Thank you.
