By middle afternoon viability is less then 1/4 mile. Air quality is very bad.
I am packed and ready to leave here at Studio 1027. All that will go with me is boxed and ready to load in the car. If I must evacuate I'll head for Carson City.
The Fire Fighting agency's are doing their best and there are a number of miles and ridges between Meyers and the NE front of the fire. I am aware that even the best efforts could fail and the fire roar over Echo Summit and come into Meyers.
