[californiadisasters] South Ops News & Notes Update (10/08/10-5PM)

Date	Time	News and Notes
10/08	1700	The Sierra NF advises that after receiving significant rainfall,  the Forest will begin to transition to Winter staffing.
10/08	0800	Over the past week Yosemite took over 1000 lightning strikes with several new fire starts in various areas of the park. Along with the lightning Yosemite had several inches of rainfall, giving the existing fires low potential for growth. Each day new smokes are detected and put onto a list to be evaluated once the weather clears. Attached is the fires that we currently have as "active" though some are likely out.
