Although it hasn’t happened yet, it is inevitable that you’ll see that headline soon.
The town of Paradise (CA, about 90 miles north of Sacramento CA) has given 14,000 people immediate evacuation notices today. On a map, that’s almost all of the east side of that town.
The Chico Enterprise Record (nearby newspaper in Chico CA) has a great map of the fire boundaries and evacuation areas here . There’s a great potential for damage if the fire gets into the ‘green’ (evacuation) areas.
And the weather is not helping. There is so much smoke that the fire retardant-dropping planes and water-dropping helicopters can’t fly.
Not good.
