Santa Cruz Mountain Fire

I'm not in danger here, but can very faintly smell the smoke.
5.30pm
At least 12 structures have been destroyed and 40 are being threatened in a fire that began at 5:30 this morning. Some 1,000 acres burned 9:00 a.m. and by noon the fire had exploded to over 2,200 acres.
According to Battalion Chief Mike Marcucci, the fire has jumped out of the canyon and is headed toward Corralitos.
The fire is now over 3,000 acres and could reach 10,000 acres.
The fire was first reported near Summit and Ormsby roads and is in the mountain range that separates Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties. Wind is moving the Summit Fire to the southwest - nearing the town of Corralitos.

I used a Google Map which shows the mandatory evacuation area, exported it to Google Earth and put in pins to show you the places of interest. I have turned off place names because they made the map too crowded.
Erich and I live in Capitola. The first map is an overview to give you a bit of an idea of the scale. Near the top is Erich's work in sunnyvale, he travels over Highway 17 to get home, and the trip takes 45 minutes on a motorbike, or an hour and a quarter in the car.
Below is a closer version
Red Polygon: This is the evacuation area, it is larger than the area of the actual fire. I have heard reports that the evacuation area is extending along the east and south east, mainly due to smoke.
Pins:
Highway 17 - The route between Santa Cruz and Sunnyvale (Silicon Valley)
Ormsby & Summit Rds - Where the fire was first reported to be.
Mt Madonna Rd - Receiving air dumps of water
Loma Prieta Rd - Where much of the news footage thus far has been recorded from
Corralitos - nearest town to the fire. Threatened.
Watsonville - Erich's Grandmother lives here. Smoke is thick over the town and ash is falling.
The wind is South/East
