Big fire about 80 miles SE of me. Yesterday at 1 PM, 50 acres had been burned. This morning, 40,000!! . Major damage to 3 towns. Maybe as many as 1000 homes. One of the units at my other power source, Geysers geothermal, is damaged, staff evacuated. Now 50K acres, 0% contained.

NOON THE GEYSERS (Geothermal plant)

The Valley Fire, which spread earlier into Sonoma County from the Cobb area, reportedly is moving in on The Geysers and threatening a power station, according to the CHP.

CHP Sgt. Robert Boyer said a CHP officer was sent to Geyserville late Sunday morning to assess the fire’s progress. Heavy smoke has grounded Cal Fire air tankers and spotter planes, creating a need for more effort from the ground to assess the situation and determine if any evacuations could be needed, he said.
