Alamo Fire

[Jim Eshelman]

July 7, 2017, 3:30 PM, Los Alamos, CA

On July 7, the Alamo fire in north Santa Barbara County and southern San Luis Obispo County which began the day before) exploded in size and concern, rapidly leaping from 500 to 3,000 acres in size. A day later, it had leapt to 19,000 acres. With temperatures in the 90's, mandatory evacuations were ordered July 7. (The time above is when the evacuations were ordered.)

Given the name and general location, I'm guessing that the fire centers around Los Alamos. That, at least, is a close location. Another fire (the Tower fire) was also burning nearby, along U.S. 101 near Cuesta Grade.

With only the quotidians as exception, the charts are consistently horrific. (Final timing rests with a transit, not a quotidian. It is the exact Bridge trigger.)

UPDATE 2/20/18: The fire began July 6, 2017, apparently at 35N01'04'', 120W19'20''. It burned almost two weeks, until July 19, eventually burning 28,687 acres. No deaths, two buildings lost, no time for the start. The time I gave at the top is for the next day, when evacuations were ordered.

"The Alamo fire burning near Highway 166 east of Santa Maria doubled in size overnight to almost 6000 acres, with evacuation order"

"The fire, which is currently the largest fire burning in the state, broke out Thursday afternoon along Highway 166 east of Twitchell Reservoir. "

It just keeps growing! - I used Los Alamos thus far, which is 34N45, 120W17, and is about in the place everyone is discussing (i.e., in Santa Barbara County but near the San Luis Obispo County lie). Twitchell Reservoir is up in SLO county, 45N00, 120W20, a little north and a bit east of Santa Maria. None of that is going to make a lot of difference astrologically, of course. Highway 166 is a small highway but a bit curvy, so it briefly turns north-south a big west of Twitchell, which is probably where the description means.

That would put the start somewhere near Suey Creek road and, to the minute of arc, 35N03, 120W24.

As of this morning, it had covered 24,000 acres.
