Not surprising. The 6 O'clock news had a "Red Flag Warning" for most of the Bay Area until tomorrow morning. Saw some serious pressure gradients in the area on the weather maps, since we are sandwiched between a strong low heading into the Rockies and a strong high just off the coast. Hopefully, the high pressure will move in tomorrow and calm down the winds. Still, gonna be an indoor day for a lot of people due to the air quality.
not good news coming out of Paradise MASSIVE destruction
also fire now moving into extreme SE Chico..by the home depot
.
All cities and counties planning departments now have their maps online now.
.
Actually you’re probably a little southwest of me; I’m in Clayton Valley.
.
That’s not something they put in links!
They informed their transmission crews yesterday that they would be up there today doing shutdowns due to fires.
The 1 acre fire is now contained. Thank God.
Firefighters working hard.
And thank you for your prayers.
The fire is still coming down 80% chance of the fire jumping the road. taking all the resources and gonna try to hold Highway 70 (south side of fire)
scanner: If it jumps highway another large evacuation (30,000)

In your post:

“PG&E was notified yesterday that Paradise would be on fire today!”
sounded like PG&E was told the day before the fire, that that town would be on fire.
I was looking for the map you mentioned here:

Paradise is on the Agenda 21 rewilding map!
This will be just like the Santa Rosa fires, all started by aircraft mounted beam weapons.

Cal Fire: Entire town of Paradise ‘wiped out’ by Butte County wildfire
PARADISE (AP/KRON) - A Cal Fire captain says the Northern California town of Paradise was wiped out by the Butte County wildfire.
Thousands of structures have been destroyed in the Camp Fire. The fire has charred 20,000 acres and is 0 percent contained.
A fire official says Paradise has been “pretty much” destroyed.
CalFire Capt. Scott McLean says a wind-whipped wildfire destroyed thousands of structures but he said they won’t have an exact count until they can get into the area.
north side of fire:
*The Chico Police Department can’t confirm exact evacuation locations, but say they will start evacuating the east side of Chico** #CampFire #CampFireEvacuationOrder
scanner: winds picking up again 40MPH
not enough resource... just issued more evacuation orders near/in Chico
Northside of fire..
fire making a hard run towards paradise Pines (a large neighborhood NE of paradise)
Thanks for the good news.
I couldn’t watch that video for too long. Watching the smoldering embers by the one house and the guy saying “This house is okay.” How about grabbing the home’s garden hose and putting the embers out? Knock on the door to see if there are any pets? “Oh - these chickens in their coop - they’re okay. But the house next door is burning.”
Good grief! Prayers for these people.....please keep us updated.
Prayers for the people in this nightmare. Keep us posted if you can.
It is very, very bad. But some good news. I was able to get ahold of WB6IAG and K6PBT. They are alive and relatively well. Evacuated.
Ron and jhis wife got stuck in Paradise and had to shelter in a building as fires burned all around. Gas Stations blew up...fire fighters were calling for more water as I heard on the frequencies. I didn’t know that Ron was still stuck up there. I talked to him a little after 8 this morning. He was gathering the critters up. (as well as radios to I imagine)
As of this moment buses are getting ready to evacuate the community of Forest Ranch...
As for K6PBT...I sent an email and an hour ago he wrote back. Doing well and in Chico. These are elderly hams and mobility is an issue. Paradise had a lot of elderly living there. Lots...
The whole town is gone...literally. devastated....gone. a whole town. 25k residents. gone....
The fire is moving into the eastern parts of Chico at this moment and south towards Oroville, (my location.) We should be safe through the night. East parts of Chico not so safe. They are evacuating now.
Its bizarre. The photos are stunning. Imagine a glowing red black night of hell, except its eleven in the morning elsewhere. Surreal.
Been scanning all the frequencies. There have been brave acts by firefighters. People fleeing for their lives from cars stuck on escape routes. There hasn’t been real talk of deaths...but we know that there are. How many? Don’t know. Have heard that some people may have perished in their cars. Don’t know if that is true. How many old people have died in their homes confused with power out and no way to communicate to the outside world?
PG and E cut power. They played it safe. In some areas they cut power prior to the fire to prevent swinging power lines from arcing. Winds have been bad.
Those that wonder if it was terrorism, homeless, etc...don’t know the area and are barking up the wrong tree. How the fire started out on Camp Creek Road has yet to be determined. Maybe it was the winds blowing at 50 mph down the Feather River Canyon that had something to do with it.
Early this morning when I looked out the window the “thunderhead” plumes of some were quite visibile over the tree line. The fire was said to be 2K acres then. By early afternoon it was 18K acres. More than 20K now. It moved fast. Absolutely no containment as of yet.
Horses are running wild down roadways looking for safety. There was no time to load them up and take them somewhere. People left with what was on their backs. They opened the gates and hoped for the best. What were they supposed to do?
No hotel rooms for 75 miles around.
Paradise gone...Magalia next...Chico threatened, Forest Ranch on the list.
And that is the report as of this moment.
Woolsey Fire in Oak Park CA, near Thousand Oaks where the murders happened last night.
30 or more houses destroyed. Very windy.
You can smell a fire in Chico in Walnut Creek?
