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.

Fire has grown to 63,366 acres and is still only 1% contained. Governer has declared
a state of emergency.

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.
