You’re absolutely correct.
As of this morning the fire grew from 620 or so square miles to over 750. However, the town is largely out of danger at this point as are the oil sands operations which is the bread and butter for that town. Oil production will begin ramping back up and the pipelines are being restarted, large parts of the city still are with out power and water so it’s thought it may be 2 weeks or more before people can move back in. Last count the count had risen to 2400 structures lost or damaged. Fire is still out of control is some areas but things steadily are improving. Sounds unbelievable. I haven’t seen any fund raising efforts online maybe someone will post one if they know of a reputable charity handling the area. > On May 10, 2016, at 3:55 AM, Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com> wrote: > > Scott, > > Listening to the national news here today, it sounds very much like things > are slightly better due to rain and colder tempratures > But they are still no where near out of danger. > > It's seemingly that large that the guys in the space station have been taking > photos of the fire. > > 250000 hectairs already burnt. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott > Sent: Tuesday, 10 May 2016 4:50 AM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Tim Kilburn > > I hear you, when I lived in California i lived in the mountains south of San > Jose and I believe it was 2008 when there were 3700 different fires started > in the local area by a freak lightning only (no rain) storm that went through > the area.
