Posted by Pretzel KittyKat on 6/23/2002, 4:10 pm 115 homez hav bin distroyed in Pinedale witch izza town that reely izn't innymore, but ovver the hole area they hav saved mor thin a thouzand homes. The peeple Reggie uzed ta liv with havva small biziness in Heber, witch haz bin evakuated but not hit yet, an momma haz bin hopping she kood see dem on the TV. The fire haz bin furry fast moving and grew by 75,000 akrez yesturday, but it iz moving slitely slower tday. We iz all hoping an praying that the wildlife iz being able to eckscape. It haz burnt thru the world's largest forest ov ponderosa pines, alreddy, and iz burning on top ov the Mogollon Rim (purrnownced by hoomanz az "Muggy-on" - shur wish they wood lern to spell), witch izza furry scenic area with lotza history, too.
The two firez hav merjed and created a fire front that iz 50 milez wide anna fire that iz mor thin 322,000 akerz big. 30,000 peeple hav bin evakuated an we hop that alla petz haz bin evakuated too. At leest 11 townz haz bin evakuated so far, and more mite come, even mebbe Eager, whair they hav bin sending the refujeez. The town ov Show Low iz abowt to be hit by the fire but the nuz krewz ar inna "safe zone" an the fire iz gonna go rite over them. That shood be sum intresting viewing. Yesturday there waz no nuz at all, but today it iz bein carryed live onna Phoenix channel. Az i am typing this update momma iz waching TV. She just herd that the wind haz moved to the NE - if it iz blowin that way, then it mite burn bak on itself, but if it iz koming FRUM the northeast that izn't guud nuz fur innybody.
