Started at 6:30 AM 500 acres and 2 houses by 7:30 _ Just north of a Mt. Madonna Redwood Park with 25 to 45 mph winds in that direction:(

About 5 miles up hill as the crow flies with winds away from here _ TV is showing fire closing in on buildings _ every one moving Livestock

Word just on TV "Campers _ Move out of Park" _ TV copter shows people out with garden hoses:)

As the crow flies we are 5 miles down hill and up wind from the fire

Fire is between San Martin, Gilroy and Watsonville going in the direction of Watsonville _ towns are safe
1000 acres now

The fire started on the County Line _ the wind blew it into Santa Cruz County an down to within miles of "Corralitos" _ CDF saved all but 10 buildings so far _ TV showed fire burning right up to houses and CDF stopping it there:) _ winds up to 50mph _ 3000' foot of fog has slowed it down today so far
