2:00 pm – I’m trying to add a radar and a lightning strike maps, but they made load at the bottom. Yup. The bottom.

12:00 Update: Fire in Ventana Wilderness, 5 acres, difficult access, AA overhead. Major thunder here, light rain beginning. In Templeton to my south east,  a truck traveling near 46 West and 101 was struck by lightning, requiring an ambulance and a tow truck.

11:00 am – UPDATE:

Not sure exactly where this is, but longitude puts it just south? of Big Sur Station, but east? I think? Maybe someone with faster internet can clarify.

  • A fire has been reported on the east side of Post Summit. That's north of Big Sur Station, but might be the fire in question.

  • WildCAD describes an incident opened at 9:32 this morning as "E. of Post Summit/So Fork/Little Sur River".

  • I just saw a CalFire observation plan circling to the south of Garrapata Ridge at 12:40 pm on Sunday. It made one pass and didn't return so the action is clearly south of Garrapata.

  • Kate,
    We are looking to lay our heads one night August 8 in Big Sur. Everything is obviously booked. Do you have any suggestions? We are travelling for one week from Los Angeles to visit family in Aptos, Los Gatos and Carson City, Nevada. Any help would be appreciated.
