The Big Bear fire on the main Salmon is now mapped at 591 acres. Official perimeter isn't up yet, here's the most recent sat detections.
That ridge hasn't had fire activity since the 1998 Arctic Fire. Eastward progression will be slowed by last year's Parks fire.

Drainage divide migration is influenced by tectonics and climate over long periods. New research in Israel shows that even shorter-term wet-dry cycles can move divides.

Did you feel yesterday's M5.2 earthquake in Southern California? It rattled San Diego (and sent the elephants at the zoo into a huddle).
The earthquake seems to line up with the deep part of the Elsinore Fault - a hazardous fault system that only rarely produces notable quakes.
