How are things behaving after the marine layer burns off? It looks like it has been laying down quite a bit the last few nights.

Lots of good info at both the 7am Ops brief and the 6am Press brief. Both were streamed live and are available online if you’d like to go back and hear the full fire assessment, comments from LE and weather/fire behavior predictions.
The You Tube link is for the short summary version from Ops Chief Mark Brunton

Does anyone know if there is a wetting rain falling over the active fire area? Or if there’s been dry lightning?

That looks like hard place to get out of and would take a lot of time even in good circumstances. Prayers to their family and friends.

Extremely difficult been on a few calls back in there back in the day. Over an hour to get there from the highway.

@TheBrushSlasher the most intensity we have seen has been in the evening. The last two nights saw very active torching and running towards houses. Also we saw about two minutes of rain and that’s it. Nothing to really affect the incident.

A post was merged into an existing topic: CA-CZU-Lightning Complex

Looking to see if there is a list of addresses damaged. Trying to find info on a specific address in Davenport

No. The only information they have released so far is a number, 330 structures destroyed (the includes both homes, sheds, garages etc…)
That breaks down to 11 in San Mateo County, 319 in Santa Cruz County. They have not yet been able to access the most fire affected areas due to trees down, roads blocked, bridges out. They continue to do Damage Assessment today.
Overall, the situation reported in the Davenport area has been that good progress is being made in defending that area.

They are beginning to populate the Damage Assessment map with data. It might be slow to load, be patient.
