High winds from a thunderstorm that passed 5 miles north of the fire. Doesn't look promising for the nothern parts of CS.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, my uncles house was spared by 1 block. The fire did not cross Centennial blvd.

Estimate is 346+ homes destroyed. Miraculously none of the multi-million dollar homes in Cedar Heights were lost.

They started processing of new cadets at the academy today, will be interesting to see if it effects the academy more then it already has. I know a small parcel of land way in the corner of the reservation was burned.

They are getting it little by little. That containment reporting boggles the mind. Second day they had 5%. Third day it blew up to three times the size and the 5% remanined. SHould really read up on how they come up with those feel good numbers.
