Hammond Peak has clear views. On the ground reporting has winds to ~30mph. Lake Shastina is under the main part of the cloud. Evacs in Shatina, Weed, Edgewood. This will go till it hits the irrigated ag fields north of Shastina.

It is moving fast. The valley winds were out of the south all day, with highest gusts near Weed.

Pacific Power appears to have de-energized the area lines. Power is out through south Siskiyou CO. Cell phones are down too.

Looking at the valley from Hammond Peak, and watching the flight patterns, its heading in the direction of Shastina. If you are in that area, LEAVE.

Watching the rate of spread and spotting on the Lake Shastina camera is incredible.

Being on the ground, in front of one of these is no fun. Contacts in and north of Shastina tell me that they are still there and have power. Anvilhead’s map is a clearer view of where things are at (at least at the time of the mapping…)

Judging from the view on the Lake Shastina cam the fire is in the community already impacting homes on the south side.

That is a new look I haven’t seen before from the FIRIS plane.
