Weird, SNF Facebook page make no mention of it, only the Ferguson Fire, and neither does InciWeb or Calfire sites.

It's jumped to 350 acers and the only personnel on it is a single helicopter dumping water. The crews will be there in the morning. this one is not looking good.

Yosemite NP:

A mandatory evacuation for Yosemite Valley has been issued due to multiple hazards along El Portal Road, Big Oak Flat Road, and Wawona Road, as well as power outages in Yosemite Valley. Yosemite Valley is NOT THREATENED by the fire at this time.

El Portal Road (extension of Highway 140 within the park) and Big Oak Flat Road west of Crane Flat may be closed for an extended period of time due to fire activity, hazard trees, and firefighters working on the roads.

Access to Yosemite Valley is closed through Sunday due to fire operations. This includes El Portal Road (Highway 140 inside the park), Wawona Road (Highway 41 inside the park), and Big Oak Flat Road (Highway 120, inside the park between the Big Oak Flat Entrance Station and Yosemite Valley).

Currently the only public access into Yosemite National Park is via Tioga Pass from Highway 120 east via U.S. 395 from Lee Vining. The Tioga Road remains open to Crane Flat. For current road conditions, visit the park’s website: https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/conditions.htm or call 209/372-0200 (press 1, then 1 again).

Yosemite Valley residents must leave the valley by 12:00 pm today. Convoys for Yosemite Valley residents are meeting at El Capitan Meadow at 11:00 am and 12:00 pm for the Wawona Rd. At this time residents may also enter and exit Yosemite Valley unescorted via Big Oak Flat Road and Tioga Road east of Crane Flat to 395. However, due to unpredictable weather, fire behavior and hazards this corridor could close at any time. A Red Cross Shelter is located at New Life Christian Fellowship, 5089 Cole Road, Mariposa, CA.

Look at this from about 15 minutes ago:

But Inyo and Mammoth are bad? How is that even possible? Seeing TM like that, knowing that there's nobody there on an August day, makes me almost think it would be worth it to drive around and come in from 395.

All areas are effected, but SEKI, Yosemite, and Inyo are horrible!

Thanks for all those shots, Mav. That's weird, the TM cam showed absolutely no smoke in the meadow less than an hour ago when I posted that link. No burgers for us.
