I've heard 30-80% residential (subdivisions) and structural damage. "sheer devastation and entire blocks of homes just gone"! Middletown at least is on a major highway (29) And fire equipment would converge there before deploying into the remote steep area of Anderson Springs & Harbin Springs. The aerial shots are just gruesome. Cobb, the epicenter, is much worse to the west of the aerial photo. But structures are still intact there too. Cal Fire anticipates the incident being fully contained by Tuesday night. (this evening) The fire, which began Sept. 12 in Cobb, also burned into Napa and Sonoma counties. Photos tend to overemphasize the worst and do not give the best clear perspective (tunnel vision) so I refrain from dwelling on them unduly; just the dwelling stats are bad enough.

Cal Fire said 248 personnel remain committed to the mop up, patrol and landscape rehabilitation activities that remain under way in the 118-square-mile fire area. El Niño rains aren't going to be good for barren hillsides with no ground-cover to prevent slides in fire scarred areas..

Other resources committed include 15 fire engines, 10 fire crews, three helicopters and two dozers, Cal Fire said. This fire, with the 20mph dry winds actually created its own weather pattern, causing burning in several directions.

Weirdly, the Valley fire cannot have gotten too far to the east: that was 'backfired' in effect by the two previous Jerusalem & Rocky fires earlier in the month. Strategically speaking:

Last update; the fire has been 100% contained.
