I-5 was closed for a few days due to the Delta Fire. It's been reopened today with certain restrictions including to flammables. That had popped up on the 5th and spread so fast that I was glad the kids were to spend the night at my daughter's boyfriend's house that night. It put them further from the fire just in case. Merlin admitted he was a bit scared, but when he came home from school the next day he was less scared. I think the fear was due to living in wariness for so long due to the intense fire season we've had thus far this year. I can't blame him. He was there at the school in Weed the day of the Boles fire, and we talked before about how sometimes things make him remember that day.
Delta I don't expect to give us trouble in McCloud. That has to go around or through Hirz. I am certainly concerned for the communities down by that fire though. The 5 being open I'll take as a good sign even though Delta's only at 5% containment.
Hirz fire is now listed as 12 miles from McCloud. I live about 7 miles south of McCloud traveling the road going toward the fire but still north of the Siskiyou-Shasta county line. This is at 95% containment and looks like two small areas to create lines yet. Not totally out of the woods yet on this fire. Technically I should stay ready to evacuate if needed. Will be glad when that bugger is out.
Part of me wonders if this will bring property value in the McCloud area back to sane levels. Some of those houses are selling at ridiculous prices. >.>
