Yeh me too, but familiar with are and it’s close in my thinking. It’s well east of Tobias and SE of Baker Peak in cam cross hairs anyway.

Yeah, the initial pins that WD drops tend to be more ‘general area’ than exact, then they refine it later.

They are going to need to be really careful about where they are flying, today. Cloud to cloud lightning that doesnt touch the ground can still wreck an aircraft.

I was talking to the NWS Hanford about 0400 this morning as there was a lot of activity both over the valley floor and the SQF. They were seeing everything I was and said to expect more.

Last fire in Trout Creek was 1950. McNally 2002 and Manter 2000 burned around the current fire. Plenty of fuel regrowth. California Fire Perimeters

You can get some rough coordinates for locations of incidents from AlertWest by clicking on where the camera angles meet, presuming that they are looking at the same thing.
