Hello, checking in here from Reno,Nevada. South Lake Tahoe is about an hour drive from here. I was saddened to see the devastation on the news. I heard in local radio shows that the locals are furious with the local environmental regulations which prohibit clearing brush around homes; this was meant to reduce erosion into Lake Tahoe, but this was a major forest fire,the flames were "crowning" tree tops, so perhaps making clear space around homes would not have made a difference. Anyway I hope it's over.
