Press briefing @ 5pm stated over 500 homes. Lost a large Target shopping center and a hotel destroyed. Fire @ 1600 acres, no estimated of containment. Winds still gusting 50+ mph. No aircraft used yet due to excessively high winds.

I got a lot of coworkers who live in that area. Anyone have a perimeter map?
