Caldor Wildfire Aftermath - Camera test

[@Bdub1952]

Thank you for all your dedication during the fires, Kathryn. Your efforts and hard work are greatly appreciated.

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

Note: This video was filmed on December 11th. That night I left Tahoe at 1 am, and made it across Kit Carson pass at 8,000 ft in whiteout conditions. I didn't have good enough Wi-Fi to upload videos until now.

It’s been epic here in South Lake Tahoe ... with the closing of major highways and all the snowfall ...and now with the running out of fuel... prepare now if you haven’t already started

[@cherylsibson2529]

the headset sound was good, and BC had been going thru our own set of problems they mapped out the area over 100 yrs ago in the valley of British Columbia and backed up a lake just so they could make a farm community they have known about it over a 100 years? so check out the Fith estate episode. So could they have planned out communities in California? Most likely Yes, Kathryn. and none of it is your fault and more than a few should be in ya, know what? A problem is solvable, a predicament is more than a problem.These electric companies knew what they were doing. jail.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWfOpYZpet1nirc

I am so frustrated - I wanted to cover the Colorado firestorm today, live. I see these people fleeing grocery stores, getting in their cars, and driving in the smoke when they should *stay in the parking lot of the grocery stores.* They need guidance on what to do... I don't have a laptop with me. This goes to show I need a powerful laptop so I can stream while traveling.

Drive safe in this snow. Love you so big ~ Take care ~

[@terrieanndiehl58]

Yes a 'puter like the storm chasers have will be purrrfect !!!!

[@purpleflowersalways7898]

I stopped in just to see if you were covering them.

[@smitty560]

Good to See some Footage Up, YES, We Need answers...And Hope You Have a Great New Year !!!

[@jermyeder2262]

good to see you got out to see it for yourself

[@terrimurray4240]

I wish you could see the area your in and Grizzley Flats in the daylight and no snow. It really is something to see how powerful the fires were and the damage they have done. To see it with your own eyes puts a real perspective on it all. I wish you all an awesome Happy New Year ❤️🧡💙💚♥️

[@lorraineblomgren8007]

Happy New Year Kathryn I am happy to see you return but sad for the reason but it is so helpful.👍🙏

[@SacWildlife]

Much love kathryn 💙

Louisville Colorado is on fire 🔥 right now

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

Oh dear, that looks intense. I don't think I can go live in a helpful way. I'm on the road...computer here is an i3 with 8 gigs of RAM. I don't think it would run OBS very well. (Open Broadcaster software.) 110 MPH winds is crazy. :(

[@johnnySMALLpepper]

Hello. I joined you from SHAZ’s WALK. 8 feet of snow. 😮😱

[@sistergoldenhair2231]

Was a long summer of fires in Cali ... again. Great video.

[@jecat44]

Hey Kathryn You know 2 people (father and son) were arrested and charged with arson for the Caldor fire. As I am watching your test I am currently following the massive wildfire in Colorado so far the towns of Louisville and Superior in Bolder county wind gusts peeking over 100 mph all fires are moving south east. And as usual I'm also tracking tornado's in Georgia.

[@smitty560]

BIG CAT !!! Great to See You Around !!! Had Some Twistyness South of Here Around X-Mas...But Nothing Serious Around the Big River...Hope Your Shoveling Goes Joyful and Well, and "All Your Pumping Goes Smooth"....HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

[@jecat44]

@@smitty560 I'm here just watching the fire in Colorado on FB (ABC15 out of Phoenix) and listening on Broadcastify

[@terrieanndiehl58]

The winds have been continuous & brutal & until snow began at 5-6pm tonight it was 30~40mph with gusting to idk the sound of these winds were eerie for days between snow storms. List poles on I-15 lost trees yesterday behind my home ... praying the 80 foot tall 'weed trees' which were trimmed incompletely past summer do not fall on my home nor my power lines ... i still need get a generator

Big losses in Colorado. 600 homes gone. Wish you were live.

Thank you for checking in.Sending love and protective energy right to you🌟

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

There is a future technology coming that will use sound waves to kill fires. I've seen the demonstration. In the hopefully near future, drones will deploy at the first detection wherever it is and use sound waves to smother it before it can get very far.

[@KaliAndy2]

Lets hope these roads get closed. We need the snow and water so these forests can start recovering.

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

Unfortunately...far as the eye can see...there is no forest. All the dead trees need to be removed, or else, in 2-3 years: A 2nd, worse wildfire will sweep through. This time, the tree trunks will burn. (They don't burn the first time due to water storage in bark and trunk.) All it takes for a worse wildfire to happen - is 2 to 3 years of brush growth. Once it dries out - it's like stacking kindling at the base of a bonfire. Each tree trunk can burn for more than 1,000 hours. Repeat wildfires are worse than the first always for this reason. It has to be logged as quickly as possible to prevent a repeat disaster. (Even if the lumber isn't salvageable.) Sometimes folks are concerned about salvage logging " harming the regrowth." But in a mega fire - there is no regrowth. All pine cones are incinerated. It'll be a replanting job - or else it'll be just bushes and black stumps for 60+ years.

Big fire in Boulder co currently

[@DeeJacobson]

Love & light. Safe travels getting back to a safe place before the blizzard sets in. Where is Twist not to drive down a Snowy Road in the middle of the Wilderness knowing that the blizzard was coming I used to vacation in those places. I can't even imagine what it must feel like To be present to such Devastation on such a large scale. Hopefully answers will be forthcoming soon.

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

Hey Dee.. this was filmed December 11th. I did get out of Tahoe that night - and crossed Kit Carson pass (8,000 feet) in a whiteout. If I had waited 20 more minutes I would have been stuck in the snow near tahoe. I thought I was clear about that on my Christmas video that I had gotten out of the mountains already but I probably should write in the description this is December 11th

[@DeeJacobson]

@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking I got to post on my page with a lot of comments containing more information on the Marshall fire, that's helpful💖💓

[@Heather_000]

Kathryn are you going to be covering info in the fires I Colorado. Much love to you n what u do.

[@KaiserStormTracking]

I don't think so but so far 500 something homes including malls and apartments have been lost

Great to See You Around Heather !!! Been Remembering You in thought and Prayers....Hope All's Going Well...
