I've seen reports they are warning residents of Benson to be ready for evacuations.
Everybody stay safe! Inciweb map |

Of course it couldn't be the Thousands of illegals that cross through there that caused it...

Inciweb now say 40K acres burned. Head directly east, towards Karchner Caverns.
Well, until it hits the mountain range, there. |

What fucking moron would use Tannerite in a dry brush area with high winds?

Absolutely not. It's going to be intense through Saturday though, forecast is not particularly friendly. |

I am currently building my new house in Rain Valley. I am very lucky that all we have is the foundation work done and framing hasn't started yet. I went up there Wed. at lunch to move my flatbed trailer and a few other things into the graded, dirt area to ensure it wouldn't get burned up. While I was there I observed the wall of smoke to the west and north, approximately 2-3 miles away, as well as about 20 aerial drops in an hour's time.
While the fire has covered a very large area and is quite the disruption, most of it has just been burning grass that will turn green again within a month. Very little if anything is truly destroyed at this point. It will suck if the fire turns south into my neighbors' houses or if it makes it into the forested parts of the Whetstone Mountains (most likely). |

The wind has been brutal and it is only going to get worse. I went camping in Sonoita about 3 weeks ago and it was dry as a bone. They were forest service going around to all the camps warning of fire danger and to be extra vigilant. That place is so dry that it is just almost impossible to get control of.

89% contained. 46991 acres burned. 50 firefighters still on it.
Looks like it could have been much worse, if the winds had driven it over the Whetstones. |
