- All NV fire resources have been called up....also CA FF called up
- o% contained but Fire Chief says evacuees 'may' be let back in at noon tomorrow depending on if FF have stopped the advance of fire
- 4000-4500 homes saved so far
- All Washoe County schools were cancelled (Evac Centers at 2 HS)
- Several Assisted Living patients evacuated to St Marys Hosp due to power outage possibilites and bad smoke

[Think we should ping Slings and Martin to this?]
Slings, Martin, I always knew that horse was up to no good.

Your depiction is a little out of date and overstated, at the very least.
To: ladyvet
"this is the first I even heard of the fire."I know - the national news channels are avoiding reporting on it, for some reason............
The only news I can get on this fire is on the internet or The Weather Channel. (Even Drudge is not reporting it!)

Isn’t the weather getting wet there? I’m in the NW and it’s raining and cold and usually these big storms also drop some precipitation in the Reno area.

Does mean all those insane folks from Reno 911 will have to be relocated?? Hopefully not in Texas. LOLEgads! No! We still have Katrina trash living off our tax dollars and dumbing down our schools.

We had a little wetness last weekend...but it dried up so fast because we are high desert. The ‘snow’ we were supposed to get is going to just make a fine dust. Bummer! The winds are still very strong here less than a mile west of the fire ridge. It’s around 42 degrees and sunny....well through the smoke and ashes....
