It's reported at 62k acres this evening and 10% contained. Our weather flipped 180 from the weekend... It dropped 20-30 degrees and there was an increase of humidity with some sprinkles. Nothing fantastic, but enough to slow the fires growth.
The winds have shifted and to remain stronger over the next few days. The only positive is the valley fire is moving towards two recently burned areas.

Where are all the people who had to leave their homes? I wouldn't mind going to costco and bring up some food/water for people.

Best thing to do is donate to the Red Cross, they can use the donations for resources that they truly need.

Thanks John & Vince. Any and all help will be appreciated by all effected.

Many prayers have been answered. It has been raining lightly most of the day which will help with battling the fire. But with that, most of the displaced victims are now living in tents in the Napa Valley Fairgrounds in Calistoga and are now getting rained on.

Calfire shows the fire is now 35% contained and has burned over 70k acres. Many homes and businesses are still at risk. The wineries and vineyards in the area have been severely impacted. We are in the peak of harvest but since the fire is still raging and the roads are closed the employees cannot get to work. If they cannot harvest the grapes many crops could be severely impacted or lost in an already Low volume harvest due to the drought.

I can't believe they are having issues with looting.
