Anyone figure out why Camp Connell was not listed in the advisory (or did I miss it?)?

[bigtreestechman]

Just to be clear, the person that posted that Dorrington had been taken off the evacuation list was wrong. Dorrington is still on the advisory evacuation list. I have asked but have not received a reply as to where this dis-information came from.
The Cal Fire official information site can be found on the front page of bigtreestech.com.

Someone recently posted on FaceBook that Dorrington had been taken off the advisory evacuation list… go to the source:

I don’t think Hwy 4 was ever closed. You can check road conditions via the menu at the top of the page.

is highway 4 open to come up to Big Trees through Murphys yet?

[sspmoose]

I was in Arnold and Murphys a couple hours ago. Traffic both directions was very light. A very few businesses were open but most are closed. Not many folk around.

[bigtreestechman]

Yesterday, when all the evacuation notices were issued travel down 4 was heavily impacted. I suspect that the impact has lessened considerably. We, and I’d guess many others are planning an eastward rather than westward escape route should the need arise.

Our daughter who had been using the hose for a while decided to come down the mountain today to avoid being trapped by road closures. Has evacuation from BTV been much of an issue for others?
