    There have been little to no overnight updates. This is some rural small town shit. There is no map of the fire. There are minimal maps of the evacuation routes. Why are they talking acres and not miles? no one fucking knows how big an acre is. #campfire

        Or they could just document it in miles.

        Miles are linear and acres is area. In any case, this is devastating. I hope things go well for your brother.

        That’s true. Square miles would allow some people to understand the information quicker. An observation in the way we disseminate information.

        That is how they have always done that abd they are more concerned with attacking the fire than a ton of average updates. Have you never read a news article before.

        The firefighters and emergency personnel are not the ones that update. There are dozens of people dedicated to updating the news.

        1 acre = 0.001 sq miles, so 70,000 acres = 109 sq miles

        Right. That’s what should be said on the news so the information is clear to those that cannot google it, do not know the conversation, and want/need to understand the information quickly.

        There have been plenty of posts noting how many square miles it has grown to.

        Every local broadcast news outlet is using acres as their primary unit.

        You see, in "rural small town shit" areas our land is measured in acres so it's easy for us to understand. CalFire will put out a map when they are able to. They're a bit busy as it became 70,000 acres in 24 hours. And you call yourself a Ravenclaw. 😂

        I’m from Chico. None of my family has ever owned land. I’m from that small town rural shit. My grandfather lost his home in the 2008 fires. This is not an insult to butte county. This is a critique of the way information is disseminated.

        One acre = a football field. One mile > one kilometer For anything else, RTFM
