I don’t have any first hand info about the fire since I’m not in Yosemite, but reports I’m hearing (from a variety of sources ranging from newspapers to people who are there) includes:
- The route from Merced/Mariposa that follows the Merced River past El Portal is now apparently closed due to the fire. (The more southerly route 41 and the northern route 120 remain open and should not be affected.)
- I hear that there has been an increase of smoke and ash in the valley.
- Apparently the power was cut to Yosemite Valley, though reports are that generator power is keeping stores and restaurant and other accommodations open.
- As of this evening, none of the Yosemite Webcams seems to be updating, probably as a result of the power issues.
