            Tami Collup Scheinman I'm going to cross my fingers (and toes) that Sgt. Stein who has been forecasting on www.wallow.us is right and that the wind will die down very quickly around 5pm your time and maybe they can fight it back.

Oh I am so sad and heartbroken. Generations of my family have visited Greer for over 50 years. It is my favorite place on earth. I have prayed so hard for it to be spared.

Hello everyone. Back here in Alabama we are praying for Greer tonite. My great aunt and uncle lived there for many years, until they passed in the early 90's. I have visited many times, and Greer holds a special place in my heart. Praying for all of you and for that beautiful little town.

            Kay Zahn that's a good sign, that they may be looking to go back in when they get the word.

Greer has been the backdrop to a lifetime of happy family memories..if only all the tears could rain down. My prayers to the kind people who make this piece of heaven on earth their home.

Hello, this is my first post here. My name is Lucy Dickens and Allan and Mary Jane Johnson are some of our very closest friends. My heart breaks for you all, I stand in prayer. I am also an artist and was just putting the final strokes on the second of my new Greer paintings, unbelievable! I have just sent out a newsletter with a tribute to Greer, and a plea for help, along with my paintings. I don't know how to share it here but it is on my Fan Page. Please view and share and lets see how we can help together. Blessings, Lucy

            Elaine Greenberg Kay, we now live in Charlotte, NC. We used to own a wonderful log home in Greer when we lived in Tucson. What does it mean that the firefighters pulled out? Because they can't do anything? I am in tears. I agree. Greer is Heaven.
            June 8 at 5:41pm · 
          o
            Kay Zahn I own that home now.

            Elaine Greenberg Oh no, Kay, my husband just recognized your name. Is the house still up???
            June 8 at 5:43pm · 
          o
            Kay Zahn I hear Firefighters are back at Butterfly lodge, they were ordered out for safety, but I'll bet they WANT back in . . . spot fires on the south end and it's a guess that they are burning on the EAST side, based on other info.
            June 8 at 5:43pm · 
          o
            Kay Zahn Yes. We have a metal roof now, and have the sprinklers running everyday . . . for days. . . we evacuated Saturday, but it's our second home, so I'm in Tempe working the phones and internet like a ma woman.

            Kay Zahn mad woman ;) - I have heard of NO structures burned in Greer, just spot firesl

Latest News is ground crews ordered back from village of Greer (to Butterfly Lodge) Spot fires are being fought with air tankers .. . . I'm sure the FFighters on the ground WANT back in . . . .

            Kay Zahn Just past the fire station on your way IN to town . . on the other side
            June 8 at 6:05pm · 
          o
            David McCarthy I hear they will be bringing in a 747 air tanker in the morning. Why have they waited to this point?
            June 8 at 6:19pm · 
          o
            Kay Zahn I believe they have all of the other equipment in other areas. None of this monster is contained yet, and there are multiple communities.
            June 8 at 6:20pm · 
          o
            Jeremy Graham I'm afraid they'll put the air tankers on Eagar and not Greer. :(
            June 8 at 6:23pm · 
          o
            Jeremy Graham The winds have been gusting above 35 MPH all afternoon, which means the air support was grounded. Winds starting to drop below that threshold now.
            June 8 at 6:24pm · 
          o
            Jeremy Graham David, there's about 100 questions of "Why didn't they...?" and "Why didn't they sooner..."? Very frustrating/angering/upsetting/depressing.

            John Gladstone Why can't the fire just STOP!

            David McCarthy It is frustrating for sure.

            John Gladstone Yah, I'm just sitting here and praying to God.

Thank You Kay! My prayers are with everyone evacuated, all the Fire Fighters, and all the Red Cross members that are helping at this difficult time! I live in Lakeside and my heart aches. This is such a flash back feeling of the Rodeo-Chedeski Fire...

So did the webcam get toasted, or did the power go down?
June 8 at 6:31pm ·    *
          o
            John Gladstone i think they said that it was power downage
            June 8 at 6:32pm ·           o
            Jeremy Graham Power was shut off to all 3 Greer webcams and Sunrise webcam around 9:30 AM this morning.

            David McCarthy Not cool.
            June 8 at 6:32pm ·           o
            Kay Zahn Yes, sorry. Just power went out. . .
            June 8 at 6:33pm ·           o
            Kay Zahn I'm more sorry that without power my sprinklers won't work.
            June 8 at 6:34pm ·           o
            John Gladstone I can't stand this, why wont the fire just STOP for good. I think the world should stop and pray for all those fighting the fires and for the safety of Greer.
