- Combining Google Earth database imagery from the Tubbs fire, the devastation of Fountaingrove in Santa Rosa, CA., is revealed one year later in this time-lapse video. Imagery was captured by satellites just before the fire in August of 2017 and October of 2018. Video by Chad Surmick / The Press Democrat.
When I saw the word "eerie", I thought "well, eerie might be saying too much". But it really is. WOW!! is right. This is a great video and really shows what happened. No one or thing could have stopped that fire except maybe a 24 hour cloudburst, and that wasn't happening. Thank goodness for the bit of rain we've had in the last few weeks. It is going to get dry and windy over the next few days, so the dampness will really help us out there. But I don't know what would be left to burn at this point anyway. Thank you Chad Surmick and The Press Democrat!
This community has been changed forever, understanding what happened here is so important, thank you for the kind words.
CAMERAS like those proposed by the county, could have help contain the initial fire when it started, and at least raised the alarm.
At 40 seconds, I can see what was our house. It is amazing to think that this was only a year ago. Nobody who lost their house in the fire will ever be the same. We are all trying to deal with the aftermath.
I didnt lose anything and I still have nightmares about that day. Im so sorry that happened to you 😞
Can still feel the anxiety with every breath of wind...
I still remember the wind and waking up to my parents panicked
Hats of Chad. This was outstanding.
Brutal, but still... outstanding.
I lived on Paxton Place, Rincon ridge area. A year later and I still haven’t completely settled down. World was flipped on its head that terribly windy night.
i'm reminded of a quote by the Jungian Episcopal priest, John Sanford. "Tamper with Mother Nature at your own risk.... She always wins."
WOW!!!
I can see my grandparents old house and it’s the first picture I’ve seen of it in over a year
Homes vaporized yet trees and bushes still stand? Hmmmm.....
That has literally happened at every single extreme wind driven fire in California fire history…..starting with the 1923 Berkeley Fire.
Some trees in the area have evolved to be fire resistant. Also trees can grow in the course of a year.
FIRE CAMERAS NOW. THE TECH IS HERE AND RELATIVELY CHEAP.
What's weird I was told about the wind half an hour before it got goin .And in Monte Rio there was no wind at all... That's freaking weird.
