Packing list for evacuation:

Great point. When I retweeted the essay, I pulled out the main takeaways and put them in a thread so that people in a rush to pack wouldn't have to wade through the entire piece but those that just saw the original tweet probably didn't see it. Stay safe! https://t.co/2eQOMh2L5k

Finding your zone by address

You can plug in your exact address by doing the following: Go here: https://t.co/bXNygYAMtg – Go down to the map, click the search icon (magnifying glass near top left) and enter your address. It will locate your address and if it’s red, it’s time to hit the road.

Ben Lomond library on Alba Road is gone:

Historic Alba Schoolhouse left completely destroyed by the #CZULightningComplex. Built in 1895 also served as a library branch for decades near Ben Lomond. If you zoom in you can see the bell from the bell tower sitting in the ash. pic.twitter.com/zWzLAugt6N

Sidenote, Alba is an ancient name for Scotland.
Lots of Scottish settled in those hills in the old days. Hence the Bonny Doon, Ben Lomond, Loch Lomond.

This is absolutely heartbreaking to hear. #CZULightningComplex #benlomond https://t.co/B2wkQmOWRl

Downtown areas of Felton, Ben Lomond and Boulder Creek along Highway 9 still looking completely unscathed as of a few hours ago.

That’s what I’d understood, but it was good to see.
— Nick Ibarra (@nickmibarra) August 21, 2020

I don’t think so. The road was blocked by downed power lines and trees not to much further up and we had to turn back.

I’m so sorry Dale, and anyone else asking about specific homes. I’ll keep sorting through what I have, and if I can credibly tell you anything, I will.

The blaze started on Alba Rd. at 1 am Wednesday and destroyed at least 50 houses. The crews have run out of local water supplies since tanks and wells are empty and have to go to the valley to get more. They’re trying to keep the fire off Highway 9. pic.twitter.com/VY6ZPPElvN

Early this AM in the area of California’s oldest State Park, Big Basin Redwoods, as structures burned. With few fire crews available, we watched several dozen homes burn. Homes & ranches on Felton Empire Rd, Alba, and Acorn were devastated. #SantaCruzFires #LightningComplexFires pic.twitter.com/ydNuejX1Tu

Thanks keji, much appreciated.We're safe and bugged out, thanks, but it's looking like home and farm are a total loss. Trying to get "eyes on" positive confirmation but access is still highly restricted while fires are still active
