Seemed like Edhat was down for a bit... that could be due to many reasons. Was a bit frustrating.

It's not hot and the winds aren't blowing. Relax everyone!

Drove by it (Calle Real @ the Valero station) on the 101 just after it started. Flames were easily 20 ft.
AQUAHOLIC	2012-06-28 04:43 PM
KTYD had good coverage on it.
COMMENT 292514P	2012-06-28 06:16 PM
Today has been one weird day all the way around, local brush fires, healthcare, abandoned baby animals, DS potentially folding, etc... I feel like just canceling tomorrow.
ROGER DODGER	2012-06-28 06:31 PM
It's about time KEYT had good coverage on something besides Sports and the Weather. I mean they have all the equitment in the world to work with. The last time I saw good coverage out of them was during the Painted Cave Fire. I'd still be surprised if they reported everything that happens in SB..Fat chance of that.
