      I have some numbers on the #CampFire in California after crunching what I read from an article on it. The article said that the fire department noted the fire spreads 80 football fields per minute That is: 360ft 80x = 28,880ft or 5.47 miles burned/traveled/spread per minute.

      And IF I maths'd correctly, then 5.5 miles per minute should be 5.5 x 60 which then would give us 330... which would be 330MPH... meaning that'd be the rate at which the #CampFire burns... HOLY. HELL.

          By the way, I wish to make the notation I am taking this all via what I read from an article about 20 minutes from the San Fransisco Chronical. The specific wording was lengths when referring to the 80 fields, and "rate of spread" was the choice term paired with the metric.

          *about 20 minutes AGO I apologize for the lack of ago in that sentence. My brain went faster than my hands could type, thus I lost it in my throughput.

          5 miles a minute? Is that even possible?

          It doesn't seem like it, but that's what the article gave me to go off of. 80 football fields, specifically saying lengths when referring to that metric, and then "rate of spread" was the fire department's choice term paired with said metric. And this is the numbers after math.

          There is certainly some conflicting takes on the metric however. Seems half of those who read it feel it wasn't spread, referring to traveling across land, but rather spread referring to overall area burned per minute.

          No way to know which perspective is what the department was trying to use unless they clarify it specifically.

          Remember those football fields are all around. It took about 8 hours, depending on where you measure from, to get from Paradise to Chico.

          Yes. I got that one I let myself settle enough to consider air travel, and that ensured that the fire department used unclear and arguable a bad wording and metric on the fire's spread and what specific spread type they were referring to. They said lengths & RATE of spread.

          Lengths emphasize distance, typically in a straight line, while the RATE of spread tends most often to refer to the SPEED of which the fire burns & travels, which is another form of spread.

          That’s what I thought at first, but it was total spread per minute not in one direction. Really fast all around, but not 330 mph in one direction

          Considering what I read within the San Fransisco Chronical article tonight, it specifically stated the fire department said lengths when referring to the 80 fields, while using the term spread. That's clearly not... clear (ahem) use of terms to gain a obvious metric I'd wager.
