Please be reminded I can verify and confirm the validity of these statements, but they are coming from people still in Round Valley at this time.
Spanish Trail (Allen) – Wind was calm all night, visibility is very poor at the moment. I don’t think much has changed since last night
South of Dome (Terri) – THE WINDS ARE VERY CALM. WE HAZE OVERHEAD AND IT IS MUCH BRIGHTER. WE ARE FINE BUT READY TO GO IF WE HAVE TO.
– UPDATE (0953) – SMOKE LIFTING A LITTLE. ACTUALLY LOOKS BRIGHT OUTSIDE. THE DARK GLOOM HAS GONE.
Dome (Tom) – Thick smoke, calm (little wind at all), fire night crews are coming in to Day Sleep (between 400-500)
Saw Mill Road (Matt) – Smoke is really thick, can’t see anything more than 1/4 mile away. Today is the first day the smoke actually stings my eyes. No wond yet this morning, and it is pretty cool outside, which I understand helps keep the fire down.
26-Bar (Jordan) – 7:30 A.M.- Thurs: Air is absolutely still this morning, and there is so much smoke we can’t see 26- Hill, let alone the ranch. They did some more back burning last night up near Shipwreck along the Big Lake highway, and to the south east near Lesueur Lane. Still no flames visible yet from the main fire. Jarom and Jordan are still here, and we are all fine. We’ll see what today brings.
Amity (Eric) – Wes I am at Amity Ln and Foote Rd , like others the winds were calm here most of the night. Last night was the first night I could see flames on the Mountain South of Lesueur Drive. No Flames on the mountain at the end of Amity.
– UDPATE (1019): Wes, Just talked with the fire crews heading up Amity Lane (South), they are going to start the burn out operation at the end of Amity up the the mountain in the next few minutes.
Greer (Leah) – Greer is 99 percent safe as of right now!! About 5-6 homes on the south east deep end of greer. So sad for the families who have lost everything. We are praying for u and ur families! – Information comes from Channel 3 Helicopter
