Keyser_Soze Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 This was a couple of days ago but I guess we are setting records for lowest max temperatures now (Also raining again today like 3rd day in a row it's rained in the morning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rain, but we capped out in the mid-70s on Thursday or Friday. We might not see 90 again until the end of the week. We had 1/2 an easy breathable day just before the lower temps hit. But that was short lived due to the conditions that @Remarkableriots posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the warmth of the water in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, it really doesn't take all that long for a storm to significantly increase in intensity.

Littleronin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Caldor Fire is turning into a monster. They pretty much lost 10% containment as the fire exploded in the 1 1/2 between updates today. Mandatory evacuations are now on the doorstep of South Lake Tahoe with Heavenly and Stateline just outside of current warning areas. I had a bad feeling about today because they were talking about how progress at holding the line in Strawberry got pretty much fucked when embers started a fire to the East of where they were holding. Personally for us in the last couple of hours ash started falling and at one point was coming down at a pretty good clip. Also air quality is shit as even with all our filtration our indoor aqi is currently sitting at 119. Outdoors peaked at about 250ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't visited Tahoe in a few years but it's fun. I normally went up about once a year for conferences. But haven't been since lockdowns and crap. It looks like they extended the warnings to include Heavenly and Stateline. I seen they cancelled schools on the Nevada side of the lake this morning. I watched one of the fire cams last night that you could see how quickly this this was climbing mountains at one of the ski resorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleronin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 These winds today in the region are no joke. The newest mandatory evacs included Heavenly and Stateline. The next couple of days are going to be bad. Here is hoping everyone heeds the call to evac and gets the hell out. Update while I was contacting friends in the area. Traffic is pretty much at a standstill depending on which two lane road, sorry highway, you take out. He is saying 50 going through Zephyr is bad. We offered for his family to stay here. He think they might head this way and at least stay at one of the hotels here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 For those evacuating #SouthLakeTahoe without transportation. Find our Amador Stage Lines buses for a free shuttle to Reno. We will be leaving Harrah’s and Montbleu at 2 pm today. #CaldorFire pic.twitter.com/0Z3rlrHsAu — Amador Stage Lines (@AmadorStageLine) August 30, 2021 This 4 lane road shrinks down to a 2 lane twisting climb of a mountain. Dangerous on days without smoke in the air. TTD is assisting with evacuations - Routes 19X and 22 are re-routed to the Douglas County Community Center. Routes 50 and 55 continue to bring evacuees to the Stateline Transit Center. If you need transportation and are not near Routes 50 or 55, please call 911. — TahoeTransDistrict (@TahoeTrans) August 30, 2021 Mass evacuations along Highway 50 toward Stateline, traffic at a standstill. @NorthBayNews #Caldorfire pic.twitter.com/4WrEuze0Hg — Kent Porter (@kentphotos) August 30, 2021 The road there ends up being a 2 lane twisting drive up mountains.

DarkStar189 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Man the most I have to deal with here in PA is the occasional heavy snowfall in the winter.

Littleronin Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I seen that Phish postponed their Tahoe show due to Caldor. Sadly all I could think was, "Doesn't Phish normally play in smokier conditions than this." If I believed in hell I would be going there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
