Thought I wouldn’t be spending too much time checking fire updates today. Boy was I wrong. I watched two live press conferences, a live townhall meeting and live streaming video from a guy who refused to evacuate and drove around Los Alamos to show people what was happening in the city. All that and following Twitter and a handful of official fire update websites kept me more than occupied the entire day. It was all worth it though because I was able to relay messages and updates to my brother and nephew. I was getting better and more up-to-date info than they were which helped relieve some of the anxiety. The official news outlets were unfortunately fixated on the sensational instead of helping ease tension and concerns.
Fire acreage: 90,000
