Subject: RE: BS: Threat of fire - good thoughts please
Google gave me a link to Jackson Canyon Fire Update that appears to be an "official" site – hopefully somewhere near the right area. The link is a ".com" but appears to be the same site linked above as a ".gov" and both links seem to work. It's possible it's a "mirror site" that might be handy if things get desparate(?).
A link to an "evacuation map" should be there, but note that it's a PDF so it takes a while to load, although it's only 1 page, 458 KB (when I looked). It's difficult for me to make much sense of what's there, as I'm not familiar with the area; but it may be of use to others. An uninformed outsider like I am might think they just could have said "everybody," as the map does encompass an apparently large territory.
As of yesterday the report was that "only one house" had been confirmed destroyed; but of course the "confirmed" part of it is rather significant.
