West end gun club in its path.

In that area, houses and buildings is a very subjective term…

I just drove by to get off that exit at 3pm. All the grass around the Jack n the Box and gas station was on fire but that was nothing compared to the fire in the hills above

Are there still donkeys just south of the gas stations? Hopefully, they made it out.

Dammit, I missed out on the annual eastern Sierra fishing trip last year due to Inyo being closed due to the west slope fires. Leaving in the morning for this years trip. Might have to go the 14.. Aggghh

You mean the 15N? it very rarely gets shut down, only if there is fire on both sides etc (I've been stuck on it once with fire on both sides)

They usually do pretty good at keeping it open. There will probably be lots of traffic from Baseline to Siera which is what google maps is showing right now.

They are keeping the 15 open on both sides, the fire is heading away from the fwy and into the hills.

Looks like a bunch of fire scars on the prospective west flank but some of them are old and the upslope winds are pretty brisk and don't appear to be forecast to subside until well after sundown.

They were moved years ago. I enjoyed see them when I was southbound on the 15

One thing about these fires, sure makes for a bitchin’ sunset. Go outside and take a gander.

I don't remember if there were any fatalities during that firestorm.

[CheapBloke]

Just looks like it, could be something else, but yea.. just kinda looks like an hand/arm with watch..

Also could be the picture quality as I look at it from my phone via tapatalk app, which probably is the reason why i see it as that.
