SUMMIT FIRE: Evacuations In Santa Cruz County

 
A wind driven timber fire in Santa Cruz County California has consumed 1000 acres so far. The fire was reported just before dawn today and is being pushed by onshore winds.

WildlandFire.com has a running thread on the progress of the fire.

Local news streaming video of the Summit Fire.
More video coverage here.

The fire is headed in the direction of Corralitos

Structures have been lost, more to come.

There's a thread running on this on California Disasters yahoo group as well: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/californiadisasters/. Keep us updated!
 
During the fires in San Diego last year Google had a very good map of the fire perimeter and evacuation areas.

This looks like the same thing for the Summit Fire. I'm not sure if this map will stay updated the way the one down there did.
