Here's a picture from Sonora posted on Facebook today:




I read today that the fire has now burned 200,000 acres. That is 315 square miles. It is reported 32% contained. What a monster.

I vote for this from now on: Every fall, before the first big storm is due to hit, fly crop-dusters over the forest and drop fire-starting "bombs" all over the place. Then the storm could move in and put them out. Small fires would clear the forests of the century of fuel, preventing future catastrophes like this.
