this time in the santa cruz mountains heading south towards corriltas direction the smoke should be at arts(hdflstff) house some time tonight the news said. so far 1,000+ acres and gthe wind is blowing good at my house so it must be real bad in the fire area with its own generated wind.for those that know the area summit rd near 17 is closed and are alot of the roads on the south side of the summit area . smoke slowed traffic on 101 this morning (looky looes). the cdf will be making a large camp . possibley at christmas tree park (gilroy area). thats where they did the last camp for the fire last year . if not there then the news said watsonville fairgrounds. so far no people hurt but they have lost houses and mobile homes. they have also been able to save soom the nws said.. I dont know any of us fanactics that live in the way of this fire as of yet . but will keep the local news updates going so you guys dont lose the good stuff in the national spotlite. right now people are evauating and getting the animals out . lots of horse lovers in them thar hills the local spca reports they are coming to them. also lots of dogs and small farm animals

I could smell smoke this morning when leaving for work in the high desert...couldn't see any smoke but the smell often comes this way - or my neighbors fired up the old wood burner during the night since the temp dropped down to a low 45 I had to put the blankies back on the bed
Wow! That has to be scary! We had some fires around here a couple of years ago. We had a drought and it didn't take much to start a fire. We'll be keeping you all in our prayers.

Pictures of the results of a TORNADO or several in Riverside County. A big rig knocked over and 6 railroad cars derailed in the middle of a freight train. The tower at March Air Reserve Base evacuated due to rough weather.

When I came home from work, things didn't look right in the driveway as it was wet so I thought maybe my water heater burst.
That wasn't the case and we discovered that it rain real hard for a short period of time and it looks like it only effected three or four homes on my street.
I sure don't see any rain clouds.

You must not be looking toward HB - we got rained on pretty good right after the SSR went back into the garage.
Snow 3" deep north of Isabella Lake. I played golf in the Rain and cold wind today. I shot an 83 in that mess. Not bad for an Senior citizen hitting from the blue Tee's
news says 21 % contained large fire camp at christmas tree park in gilroy humidity up to 80% winds down below 10 mph all nite and only going up to 20 today they say all looking good
best of all only lost 14 houses and still no INJURIES
