I spoke with a friend of mine last week that lives in Carson. He said that at some point the visability was down to 200 yards and it was very smokey. Highway 395 ( the major North/South route)was shut down at one point also. The fire reportadly burned to 1/2 mile of the Gov's mansion. That means basically up to the Western edge of the city. Several home in the hills outside the city were lost and last week evacuees numbered into the hundreds. If anyone is interested I can get an update and post it. I'm headed up there on Friday.
