Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Excuse my technical terminology. I didn’t intend to confuse any of you laymen.

 

Excellent news! Was it a Skycrane? Hopefully, more on the way to get the fires under control.

 

Daaam

 

Didn’t have the undercut belly like those do (I think). Assuming it’s a small tanker sucking up water from the ag reservoirs and park lakes around us. Closest water sources and they’re not large.

I don't know too much about that stuff though.

 

Ditto on Fernys Post. If anyone needs anything or help I’m not working yet and can be available to help out. Don’t hesitate to ask.

Prayers to all of you guys affected.

 

Been out of touch for the last 18 hours. Just spoke to the wife. Hope everyone is out of danger.

I'm a bit north of everything.

 

Just back from a badass Colorado trip:



I see Icon no longer services shocks. This was one of the reasons I went with them. Anyone have advice on who does the service for a decent price? Thanks.

 

Cal OES has said 1500 homes have been destroyed and 57 thousand acres burning right now.

 

Rock and road in Sacramento. I know a few guys here have used them.

 

Hearing it’s headed towards Fairfield. Coming over the hill.

 

thank you

All of Coffey Park and a lot of Larkfield area is leveled. They're slowing bringing the air tankers.

 

That was us all last night. Knocked power out a few times. Blew trees down

 

That's what started all of this. High winds, low humidity and lightning.

 

Last night we had 50 MPH gusts also. So far as I’ve read they’re attributing the fires to downed power lines from that.

Lot of trees down that we passed on our way out of our evac zone. My parents had 2 branches let go out of their oak tree, thankfully no damage to the roof. Their deck is 30 ft wide and 2/3 of it is oak branches.

 

Saw a lifted white 12-15 headed down 80. Bed was jam packed full of stuff. If you guys came from up north I hope y’all are alright.

 

Looking at aerial coverage and there is just a huge layer of smoke.

 

So I’ve got some pretty good whirring noises combing from the truck. Starts really noticeable around 55mph and is noticeable but quiet until them. After 55 I can’t tell if it’s their cause tire noise covers it.

Any idea what it might be?

I’m thinking tires. Been lazy to rotate my duratracs since I got them. Or I’m thinking it’s wheel bearing(s). They’ve never been replaced on my truck and I just hit 115k.
