From meteorologist Jonathan Hunter, photos of Interstate 40 #I40 at the #Tennessee / #NorthCarolina border. A landslide has washed out the eastbound side of the interstate.
Aha, they put up a sign. #BakerIncident #Mojave #I40 #I14
Still terrible out there in the Mojave. Surprised how few people check the routes and news before heading on a big trip like that into the desert. Screenshot as of 7/27 19:18PT https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ #I15 #I40 #BakerIncident
Oh wow, look, hit the feds. #BakerIncident #I40 #LasVegas

It appears it did trigger heat emergencies (as I suspected last night) and also looks like it disabled many vehicles (overheating?)
San Bernardino County Fire: "The San Bernardino County Fire Logistics Division has brought supplies to the Clyde V Kane Rest Stop off the northbound 15, south of Afton Canyon Road. Water has been provided at this location for motorists who are stuck without water and experiencing other issues due to heat and vehicle mechanical problems."
9pm also there was an update on firefighting operations.

98F in Goffs there. 98F stuck in traffic, hoping you don't run out of gas and lose your A/C, and that you have enough water to survive the heat. #DesertDisaster #Mojave #I40

Oh my... Google is most certainly directing people through a network of 4WD dirt track... I suspect a bunch of traction-challenged sedans got bogged down and now... no one can go anywhere. #DesertDisaster #LasVegas #Mojave #I40 #GoogleMaps
