yeah its really bad, when it first started it jumped 25,000 acres over night... my friend Jody is about a mile from the southeast corner of the fire, my friend Kristen was evacuated and got to return just a little bit ago, and my friend Chelsea lost her hunting cabin to the fire.... i cannot get ahold of my good friend Jake, his cabin is in Cooke Canyon, i had asked Jody if it was ok there and he said it should be, unless the fire tears up through the ridgeline into the canyons....

right now its around 25% contained, but with the heat and the winds they are having, it could change backwards or forwards at any moment... everyone i know over there is pretty scared, and its kinda unnerving knowing you cant do anything to help them really... Jody has been driving around scooping up peoples pets and taking them to the places in Cle Elum...

sad situation for sure...
