52 Homes Burned - Angora Fire in South Lake Tahoe.
 

The Angora Fire is about 5 miles southeast of South Lake Tahoe. They just said on the news 52 homes have burned to the ground. Fire is pretty small at 500 acres but with winds gusting over 35mph it is spreading rapidly and the winds are blowing it right to South Lake Tahoe.

Damn..that sucks ..mother mature does the same here every year also :(

where hasnt it burned already....damn

Angora lake was a big part of my childhood. Biggest cliffs in the tahoe area for jumping.

We had an arsonist running around my neighborhood this morning. Tahoe and Reno look pretty ugly when they're burned... and they're always getting burned.

My road was closed earlier...

I drove over Donner pass today and the smoke was evident. I thought I was looking at smoke from Carson, but it was even further away than that.

I thought there was a storm coming in from the south but it wasn't clouds it was smoke. :(

horrible sad news

Sad to see that area get torched.

Lens your house safe right now?

Fire has scorched more than 2000 acres now.

what ever you do. dont forget to pay your insurance .

173 homes now...

Man that is nasty :( I remember as a kid staying in Tahoe over an Easter vacation. Stay safe.

Holy crap, it just keeps escalating

It's just across 89 from my old neighborhood :(

A very good friend of mine had to evacuate his house.

I think things are getting better now that the winds have died down.

I'm happy no one was hurt or killed, but it's still very sad to see. Tahoe is a special place.

Encouraging news tonight. The containment is up to 40% from near-zero this morning. The weather really cooperated today.

i have a vacation home in the fire's path
i hope it burns down
been nothing but an endless moneypit since the day i bought it

somehow i think your permanent-resident neighbors don't share your sentiments :disgust
