My heart goes out to these people.
Evacuation Order issued for Zayante Canyon at 13:00. I take that to mean the Fire is in the San Lorenzo Valley (highly populated) and continuing to march south.
Apparently someone on this thread said it was “enough” and carry On. Usually agree with that person too. Still have multiple engines in there still in IA mode… from 2 days ago when the activity doubled. I know multiple fires with life n property threat but this should be split into its own Initial Attack.

For those saying there needs to be an I.A. thread please feel free to start one, otherwise let’s just carry on. It’s chaos right now but it will eventually slow down. Keep calm, stay hydrated, and check your lces.

Anyone know where to get the most frequently updated hotspots maps?
https://maps.nwcg.gov/sa/
This is the best I have found so far but I know it’s not real time updates. I’d love to have points to compare. We’re close to UCSC and using for decision making. Any other effective data sources would be amazing, too.
Thank you!

Airtac requested 5 or 6 airtankers, sounds like for the north zone (San Mateo County) will be interesting to see how much he gets

Try that, depends on the time it was updated

No straight up header, just cooking in the canyons getting ready for its next blow out.

Radar imagery has been suggesting pretty intense burning for past 2-3 hours on the fire’s eastern flank, with the highest reflectivities I’ve seen since earlier this week. This may be a “tilted plume” kind of situation, now that the N/NW winds have come up a bit, and the fire cam snapshots broadly support that at the moment.
