Meanwhile on the Left Coast: Entire city of South Lake Tahoe evacuated as weather drives Caldor Fire

The entire city of South Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas along the west and south shores have been ordered to evacuate due to the raging Caldor Fire, which has been creeping toward the lake for more than two weeks since igniting near Pollock Pines.

The formal exodus comes after South Lake Tahoe’s roughly 22,000 residents were given an evacuation warning late Sunday, told to be ready at a moment’s notice to evacuate. Nearly 30,000 residents had already been evacuated from the eastern half of El Dorado County.

At 10 a.m., fire and sheriff’s officials upgraded the warning to a mandatory order for all but the northeastern corner of the city, near Stateline. Authorities expanded the order at 11 a.m. to include the entire city. ...

Lake Tahoe is on the California-Nevada border, in the Sierra Nevada, where the eastern border of California takes a bend from directly southward to south-southeast. It's about 180 miles (290 km) from San Francisco, and lies on US Highway 50 (to the south) and US Interstate 80 (to the North).. The Caldor Fire is approaching from the west, and is the second fire this season to traverse the entire Sierra crest. This is the first year in modern history in which any fire has done so.
