Nepenthe Fire Photos 12/2/11

If all goes well, and it hasn’t so far, I have 4 or 5 photographs of yesterday’s fire sent in by readers, showing different points of view. Quite fascinating to see the fire from different perspectives. Okay, it has been a couple hours, unknown what the problem is, as I have 4 bars, but can’t surf the internet. I’ll get them up when I can.

First, here WILL BE two from Wally Barnick of Coast Outfitters, and one from Sander Koning, of Nepenthe, and one from Joshua Gallo Hernandez, of Ventana – WHEN this blasted internet gremlin moves somewhere else!

  • Neither do I, but I like the new snowflake background. There is only a youtube advertisement Kate.

  • I know the photos have not loaded yet. I've been trying for 3 hours, but decided my frustration level demanded a relaxing soak in a hot bath, and then I'll come back and try again.

  • Holy Sh*t! I hope the driver was ok. Anyone know how it started? Is that the hillside up to the Hawthorne's directly across from Nepenthe? Once again I skated and missed the inconvenience by coming back late from town!

  • thanks kate-got home late 12/3,power back on,been out since 4pm 11/30 -but do belive the ole tele phone, since 3pm 12/2-is not working for this fire burned the 500? pair wire - at orgin of fire-I called ATT repair-does anyone else have dead phone line?-some of us can't get "cell service when home"--but then again -I think -damn I miss Marty---l

  • They're all up now Kate, good job. Great job to all for such a speedy response. This fire could have been a real disaster. Did the driver get out ok?

  • I never heard anything about the driver of the truck, which tells me he or she was fine. As others have mentioned, we are VERY lucky this fire didn't start 24-hours earlier. If it had been wind-driven, the fast action on the ground, the almost immediate air support, would have probably made little difference, and the whole story would have completely changed.

  • Thank you so much for uploading Joshua's picture! It means a lot to know that you are so in touch with the Big Sur community and reply as soon as you can..... It means a lot to us! And by the way grate job with the article it looks grate; Is there word of what happened with the passenger? Well where ever he/ she is our prayer go out to him/her and the family in these tough times.
