This is the Lyons Creek Drainage. Fire is in red. Tankers are trying to keep it in that drainage. Heard rumors that they got Dozers offloaded but this is WFSA country. Yellow lines are Nacimiento Ferguson. Roads up top are Summit and Coast Ridge Rd.

Resident watching in Mill Creek from South reports: “It’s blowing up right now. BIG Column”
She is starting to show some heat again, this is from 130 pm.
NWS Bay Area also issued this information:
The afternoon and evening hours are often known as the “witching hour” on many fires. In Big Sur the fires can roar all night above the marine layer where dry and warm conditions persist.

From AA: The fire hooked around the retardant line, going to go indirect to keep it boxed in.
