440 was stating that many tankers were commenting on interference on the 170.7625 and was going to ask for a change tomorrow. Look for such a potential in AA frequency and post if you notice it.

If I heard right, 53 victims airlifted from Mammoth Pool area.

I believe they updated the the number to 65, that’s the discussion I heard. The guard ship also said something about a minimum of 20 ambulances with 2 In litters… mods feel free to move if this is in the wrong place.

Seeing up to 63 possible victims with burn injuries and fractures being reported (though not all 63 are injured). Helos are landing in Fresno and victims are being transported by ground EMS and possibly city busses to area hospitals. Unknown triage counts (red/yellow/green).

Wild… Phenomenal time lapse starting at 06:00 showing the collapse and related outflow. Excellent example of the danger of sudden wind changes with thunder related weather.
Thanks TBS for noticing/sharing!
