The fire burned to within 1500 ft of my house. My house is the blue marker: <http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/CZU-Fire/Jackson%20Ave%202020-08-29.pdf> I haven't seen it yet. I expect everything to be covered with a thin layer of ash. The area is being slowly "repopulated". I expect to be back home in a few days. Most of Big Basin Redwoods State Park and Little Basin were destroyed. None the historic buildings are left. Henry Cowell Park is untouched. The nearby Fall Creek Park is mostly burned over. See my collections of info links. Some spotty areas survived, but none of the fire maps offer sufficient detail to show them. If you're interested in a particular address or area, try: <https://sccgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=5461c7f372e24ab68ca386e73d58e35a> for damage inspection results: Presently, I've been evacuated. I setup housekeeping in my formerly palatial office in Santa Cruz. <http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/CZU-Fire/Office-2020-08-29.jpg> I had given the landlord notice and was scheduled to be out of the office on Monday, so the office was almost empty when I arrived. I've been spending most of my time keeping track of the fire, posting explanations of how things work to neighbors on Nexdoor.com, acting as self appointed public info officer, and making some rather bad predictions. Some accumulated info links at: <http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/CZU-Fire/> Water might be a problem. Too soon to tell: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xijMv6hk1Zc> My office is next to the San Lorenzo River. At one point, it was decided that the fire might enter the city via the brush growing in the river. Unlikely, but possible if the winds and very hot weather continued. It was therefore possible that the area around my office would be evacuated. That meant that I had my car loaded and packed for a quick escape to parts unknown with minimal notice. At one point, the fog trapped the smoke from the fire in the adjacent river canyon. It was awful, so I went to Costco and bought a Winix C535 air purifier. That helped. I managed to squeeze in a few computer repairs. All were unsuccessful because all my tools, software, and spare parts were in my house in Ben Lomond. It didn't help that I was also a nearly sleepless and a rather nervous wreck, while the computer owners were no better. Drivel: It's amazing that a large number of residents didn't think of calling their home telephone answering machine to see if their house still had phone and power service, which is a good indication that the house is likely to be intact. I had to repeat this suggestion many times. Also, I was into "car camping" when I was a teenager in Smog Angeles. Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead were my hangouts. I liked it so much that when I finally decided to buy a house, it was in an area that looked much likg Big Bear. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
