Here's a little more local info Sacramento Bee and Chico Enterprise

Here is another local site Magalia Weather, that has a link to a fire map and a live webcam from the area.

Thanks, everyone. Good thoughts going out to all those with family and friends in Paradise.

The place my brother lives in was evacuated last night. The clients are all in a shelter in a nearby town. Since they are autistic, the change is doubly hard on them. Let's hope they can go home soon.

We are dealing the Piute fire here. I know quite a few people who have been evacuated. An area that still brings me good memories is gone.

Oh MG I'm so sorry. I also read earlier that another fire had burnt some buildings in Sequoia Park.

BC (before children) we used to go to the Property. It was near Lake Isabella, on Erskine Creek Rd. The road was more of a dirt foresty track, and you crossed the creek 26 times to get back there. It was more like a rural compound, complete with trailers, fire pit, outdoor kitchen that ran on propane (even the fridge), an outhouse and a working shower that pulled water from the creek. That entire area is gone. The only bright spot is that Liebel Ranch was saved. You had to cut through it to get back to the Property. The old lady still lived there, no power, no phone. They were able to save her house.
