Yes, terrain makes a difference, and a fire going uphill will pre-heat the fuels ahead of it, making for more intense flames. It's even worse in draws and chimneys. As I learned it, "fire goes where water flows".

That said, for this fire, as with most, the winds seem to be the predominant factor in the spread.
Not to be funny, well I guess so, how can wind blow out a candle?

@bigredfish started it, LOL

Re: Can Sea Water be used ..

I saw videos of the 2 tanker planes from Canada scooping sea water during their fire fighting operations ( I posted a picture and youtube video link earlier in this thread )

Maybe apply sharia law? I detest thieves. :angry:

Excerpt:

In parts of the world which govern with sharia law, the punishment for theft is amputation of the right hand if the thief does not repent. This ruling is derived from surah 5 verse 38 of the Quran which states As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.
 
It’s nice they arrested a couple of looters, but the real problem is the legislators and governor who gave them the imprimatur by making theft of less that $1,000 in value the same as a traffic ticket. Why arrest people for stealing when you told them stealing is ok?
The reward(s) from committing the crime and not being caught outweighs the risk of being caught and receiving a light punishment or no penalty at all, as found in mostly liberal-run cities.

And if the thief has made that choice to steal based on the above logic many times in their life up to now they're likely going to keep doing it....until someone gives them a dose of lead to a strategic and fatal spot. :confused:

They openly walk in stores and take what they want. Why not loot homes too...

The Governor created this mess, not being tuff on crime is a crime in itself...
