Caughlin Ranch Fire
I hope everyone is okay. 20 homes already burnt and the wind is not helping right now.

Driving to work I could see it on the hill just north of Huffaker. That's more south than the articles led me to believe.

Scott, Nick, Mike, and anybody else south of McCarren, it is headed your way.
I'd pack if I were you! Reports of embers flying over 1/2 mile and sustained winds over 50MPH and gust near 80 in the valley! If it jumps 395, we could lose much of the south valley.

Yeah, the evacuation zone just moved to Zolezzi lane. Now I'm started to get a little worried.

The wind has wreaked havoc on my fence.

It's not coming that far, damonte ranch looks pretty safe, especially since they're reporting the fires progress has been halted.
Pretty amazing how far the fire did progress in only 12 hours though. This wind is the worst I can remember in the 10 years I've been in Reno.

Windy Hill is just northwest of my place, we could see the flames from the house. We had valuables and some supplies packed in our cars in case we got evacuated, but luckily the fire didn't get much closer than that.

I left work at 7pm and couldn't see anything on the way home. I did see some emergency vehicles (flashing lights) up in the area, but no flames were visible.

Great. Another one.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=...6&source=embed This is a little closer to me, but they are talking about evacuating to Damonte Ranch HS and having a press conference at Galena HS, so that must mean they are confident it won't make it this far.

Mike K is my next door neighbor. Well, backyard neighbor technically, but that sounds weird.

In-laws live in pleasant valley right where most of the footage was shot. Had to evacuate them and all of the animals today. It's pretty cool how the local casinos are helping the people effected by the fire by giving them discounted or free rooms. Tomorrow we will see if the house is gone.

Glad your family were able to make it out of there. Sounds like the fire is finally getting under control (if not officially under control). Good luck on checking out the house tomorrow.

MikeK, you in touch with Dave Meyers at all? I'm sure he had to evacuate.
