Basin Complex East Information Links July 13, 2008

Hello! I have been doing some researching to find good sources of information on the Basin Complex East. Thank you to people who have sent me links. If you have any other links to good information, please send them along! This is what I have found at this point:

This is someone attending fire meetings and writing up summaries and giving first hand accounts of what it is like to be in Jamesburg right now. Definitely the most information about the East side of the fire that I have found so far.

A good standby

This is the official County of Monterey site. It gives good, brief, official information.

This is a non-official, but more detailed site that gives timely information along with thermal maps:

This seems to be an official federal site. If you scroll down about 3/4 of the way on this one there is some good information.

This is where I get my weather reports from. Go to the page, then type in your city and state in the box on the upper left hand side (not the right hand box, this does something else), and you can then narrow down your area. Then it will show you a map that you can click on to make your location and elevation even more accurate. Takes a bit of guess work with the elevation, but it works.
