WE were one of the families in The Keys that The High way Patrol Came and Used His Bull Horn to Come and evacuated but we later Returned to find out that we did not actually have to leave our house we were VERY RELEIVED
To Whom It May Concern, My husband and I are praying for the safety of the firefighters and people whose homes are being threatened or distroyed. We thank God that everyone thus far is safe. To all those who have lost their homes, remember that God's ways are above our ways. His plans are for a future full of hope and not destruction. Pray to Jesus for His plans for your future and watch Him go to work. God bless each one with Christ's personal love and care.
This is just feedback. That was a very good map showing the mandatory evacuation areas. It just showed at 9pm. How about posting that on the web site?
I wish all the "duff" which is supposed to improve Lake Tahoe's clarity was stuffed up Singlaub's rectum. How clear and prue is the lake likely to be if there is no vegitation to hamper water run-off? We have been trying to tell the tree huggers for 30 years what would happen. They're idiots.
Has News Ch 8 attempted to interview TRPA whose preservation regulations and policies have contributed to the height of devastation the Basin is experiencing? I am very curious what they have to say. Also when folks go to rebuild I suspect they WILL NOT be permitted by TRPA to reconstruct with the same amount of cover as was destroyed.
I LIVED IN CALIFORNIA FOR 44 YEARS. MOVED TO RENO, 6 YEARS (MISTAKE OF A LIFE TIME)AGO. I'M PRAYING FOR YOU EL DORADO COUNTRY.
AIR controll Need mask for community members Where can these be pick up?
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH CALIFORNIA. I REMEBER THE OAKLAND FIRE. CALIFORNIAS STRONG VALUES. CALIFORNIAS'S GOLD
Looking towards gardnerville/carson city, i cannot see anything. The smoke is just filling the valley up as if it was a bowl
Praying for the firefighters, residents and owners, and the wildlife. God be with you all.
You can thank TRPA for this devistation. For years, TRPA has taken and controlled the environment in the area. Do you know that a home owner can only control 1/3 of the area he / she owns? And, the rest must be left in its natural habitat. This means dried pine needles and as well as dead debris or trees.
Short and ugly; we can thank the Sierra Club and those who listened to them for this, they should be held responsible for all the costs.
I just think its really awesome that the community is coming together to help these people, esp. since the States governor wont leave his holiday to come home and help!
My thoughts and prayers are with those in Tahoe right now. I hope that the fire can be brought under control soon. I grew up in the area, and I heard about it from the New York ABC station.. I'm devastated.
Thank you for posting a map, it is a big help for us who are out of state but who still have friends and family living there and don't know the area very well.
