Weed on fire - again :(
Forums:
From my mining community friends on FB, here's an account of the fire that's now engulfing Weed California;
<<Update 4pm: According to a neighboring homeowner, the first started at the old green warehouse building at Roseburg Forest Products. (burning building seen in photos below)
Update 3:44 Looking closely at video at least 63 homes have burned just in the neighborhood to the north of the RFP warehouse where the fire started.
Update 3:15 pm - lots of homes are burning in Weed. Very bad situation unfolding.
Update 2:55 pm. The fire is now 4 miles north of where it started and has already burned 1,228 acres as of 2:30 pm mapping. Very bad situation with lots of homes burning.
The Roseburg Forest products plant in Weed California is burning right now. There’s a wildfire that either came out of this or caused this that is burning into the town of Weed. I believe all of Weed is under mandatory evacuation.
This is setting up to be a really bad situation with homes burning as well. Please pray for the people of Weed!

I know that "thoughts and prayers" gets overused after a school shooting, but it looks like Weed could use some for real right now.
It sounds like the winds are supposed to die down tomorrow at least:

update on the fires near Weed...
"As of late Saturday night, the Mill Fire which started in the outskirts of Weed in Siskiyou County on Friday afternoon had grown to 4,254 acres and is 25% contained. The suppression efforts have been surprisingly successful and the fire is much less active and firefighters are hopeful.
According to Cal Fire, at least 132 structures have been affected and 50 completely destroyed. Three civilians have been injured.
The Mountain Fire which started southwest of the Mill Fire about three hours later on Friday has grown even larger than its elder brother. The Mountain Fire had grown to [about 6,451 acres by mid-morning Sunday] and is only 5% contained. It is burning in rugged terrain and has made short runs across the crowns of trees and sent spots ahead of it."

I checked with friends in Weed who live just off Hwy 97, just a few minutes east of I-5 and old Weed main street. They had evac orders, 1 stayed behind to protect the house...seems the situation improved slightly yesterday. They are waiting for restoration of power before all family members return.
