@ai6yr Scientific article.
Explainer for rapid growth of 2018 Camp Fire in northern California. No paywall.

10km =~ 6.2 miles!!!!

"Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to 10) kilometers ahead of the main fire front. These firebrands ignited dense clusters of new fires that merged into rapidly advancing lobes, producing abrupt surges in fire growth that exceeded expectations based on surface wind and fuel conditions alone."

Dark symbols are satellite heat detections within prior 6 hours. This data is not real time and sometimes false positive. There is a *lot* more info in the two links in upper left corner of the map.

If you are ordered to evacuate please do so. The fire officials have information that you do not.
