It is technically a warning, but they clearly want everyone out before the Christmas rush. I grabbed a few things from my lab this morning, but I also have stuff in my office like wedding photos and some bikes that I got out of my house before it was incinerated. So I am hoping big concrete buildings will be ok.
There were spot-fires at Twin Gates earlier today. I don't know the current status of that, but this is inexorable. I will be surprised if it doesn't burn into Santa Cruz tonight or tomorrow. I heard it went into Boulder Creek and they are evacuating Scotts Valley, so UCSC told everyone to head south (presumably to avoid a potential traffic jam mass casualty event on the 17).
