Air Attack from Alamogordo over the fire. #crowcreekfire wildland fire

CrowCreekFire. North of Maxwell, NM. Burned estimated 1200 acres in first 2 hours. Broke out in Colfax County about 1530. Hwy 64 closed periodically. Structures threatened.

Who is setting the fires and acting like rioters around Denver University? Is it students or outside agents agitators? People acting like they were recently at the State Capitol bringing lessons learned to University Blvd. #Denver @DenverPolice

@DU_Hockey #Denver today…

@metro_notify Corner of Cherry St. 2 blocks north of old Station 2.

Whitman has a structure fire 94 Pleasant St.

113 Fire. School stidents evacuated to Crook fire station.

South of Peetz, Colorado. Wind driven wildfire. Wind shift to northeast. Fire jumped highway. Point of origin Hwy 113 south of CR72. Mutual Aid for structures from Sidney, Nebraska

@foxweather @BrandonCopicWx Which Lake Shore? Long Pond or what?

STAY HOME ⚠️: Conditions on the roads in Plymouth, Massachusetts, are very dangerous right now, with winds gusting up to 75 mph and causing extremely high snow drifts. FOX Weather Exclusive Storm Tracker @BrandonCopicWx said multiple people are stuck along a road on the lakeshore as strong blizzard conditions hammer the area. #blizzards #foxweather

Elbert County Colorado. Fire now 4-5 miles wide. Spot weather forecast for 70 MPH winds until 5 o’clock #cowx @MaxVelocityWX

Elbert County Colorado 43970 CR 74, Simla large wildland fire reaching a structure

Pueblo Colorado. State Patrol confirms 4 fatalities. Crash occurred at 10 o’clock when high winds caused a dust storm with very low visibility.

Pueblo Colorado Several secondary additional crashes involving more vehicles with law still arriving at some of those.

#BREAKING Pueblo County Colorado. South of Pueblo. I-25 MP 94. #MCI Motor vehicle crash involving about 40 vehicles & 11 trailers. 2-3 fatalities on scene. Many mangled vehicles.

How far outside your house can you detect your AirTag? A pacemaker is probably a third to a tenth of the RF power. Construction materials used in the Tucson area are going to have a lot of attenuation. And a pacemaker does not transmit a signal continuously. This is much more of a publicity stunt than something that will actually work. Also helicopters in general create a lot of RF noise.

Investigators say they’re using a “signal sniffer” on a helicopter to detect Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker. Pacemakers can communicate in two ways: short-range RF medical telemetry, typically in the MICS band around 402–405 MHz with extremely low power output, or Bluetooth Low Energy if paired to a phone or monitor, operating in the 2.4 GHz band with similarly limited power to preserve battery life. RF telemetry generally only works within a few feet to about 10–20 feet, and in many cases closer to a couple of meters, which would require the helicopter to fly very low and slow to have any chance of detecting it. Pacemakers also do not transmit continuously. They operate in low-duty cycles or respond when a compatible device is nearby. Bluetooth is also low power and short range, typically around 30 feet or less in real-world conditions. For context, pacemaker batteries usually last 5–15 years, with an average of 7–10, so the device would likely still be active unless it was damaged, shielded, or separated from its paired phone. Investigators would only pick up a signal if they are actively sniffing for it with equipment tuned to the correct frequencies, but it could still be detected even if she were deceased, as long as the pacemaker remains intact and powered.

@trophyjoey @Nerdy_Addict Closer than that due to the additional path loss induced by the structure. And the way most homes are built around Tucson it’s a lot of loss.

@Nerdy_Addict So are you telling me the helicopter has to hover 10-30 feet above every home in Tuscon to get a connection?

@PhilHollowayEsq @mktruecrime @aronberg The RF noise floor is too high on a helicopter to search for a very weak signal effectively. A drone that doesn’t generate its own RF noise and can fly very low and slow would be much more effective. It’s currently more of a publicity stunt than a real effective tool.

On Wednesday’s episode of @mktruecrime, Matt Murphy told me and @aronberg that a helicopter should be used to look for a pacemaker signal from Nancy Guthrie Now it’s happening, evidently

@kevincorke Law enforcement activity in St David, Cochise County, Arizona

@MaxVelocityWX It’s an ancient tradition. Lights stay up and lit until the National Western Stock Show concludes. In recent years-left up to honor storm chasers attending the conference. You didn’t see them last year ?

why so so many people still have their Christmas lights up in Denver 😭
