As you may know, I, asteryx, live in Santa Cruz, CA.
Here are some links that I keep an eye on for news about the largest fire in 20 years in Santa Cruz county.
First is the map of the fire boundaries and road closures.
Here is the local ISP that is really wonderful about posting updates and links.
Finally, here is the CalFire Lockheed fire update.
The short asnswer to "are you worried/scared/evacuated/close to the fire, etc" is "No." We can see lots of smoke as it crosses the bay and the air quality is questionable at times; there is ash on the cars and we get amazing sunsets, but otherwise the fire has not affected us.
