Bodie Threatened by Fire

At last report this fire set by lightning yesterday was 5000 acres and 4 miles from Bodie, and 194 people were fighting it.  With thunderstorms in the forecast, the 25MPH winds driving the fire yesterday afternoon could return.  Hopefully the rain showers forecast for this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon will pass this way and knock it down.
Latest incident report: http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/3668/

So far I'm counting on our workshop scheduled for this Saturday night to still be on!
