well, SF. Why not cover HH in a big dome. :\ Not like the ash won't settle out in Crystal springs.

I'm more concerned about Flip not being able to get to work.

Fire has ballooned to 53,866 acres :eek:,
That's about 37,000 acres in one day! That has to be a typo

Wish it was, but radio and TV have also reported it growing to over 3x the size today.

Yeah..I've been doing some research and everything I've read has talked about how impressive the burn was yesterday. The evening news yesterday talked about the pyrocumulus cloud showing up on radar

Reno is socked in this afternoon from the Rim fire. Carson City is also socked in with reports of particulate ash falling. Eyes are burning. :crybaby:

Does anyone know how far south the smoke is drifting? Was planning trip out of north lake to Lamarck lakes after Labor Day. Thinking it might be too smokey. Thoughts?

This view of the plume makes it look like it's all headed north (which would explain reports of terrible smoke in Reno). Winds could always shift, so it's worth monitoring, but at this point it doesn't look like there's much impact further south.
