Crazy happening, that fire. And I had no idea of the ferocity of the winds on the pass. Is that due to it's alignment or ?
Hopefully a lesson to be learned although really, I don't know what it would be. I can how the traffic got locked up....and I was reading that one group actualy had to take shelter in the back of a semi. I couldn't tell if it was the tractor or trailer by the description, but it doesn't really matter. They were safe. I have looked at some of the YouTube video's..people driving thru a wildfire..and that looks to me to be the epitome of a Darwin attack, right there.
