View Comments

• Thank you, Lucas, you are amazing!

• Thank you, all again for the time and effort for these wonderful maps! So much comfort in being able to see a snapshot, into the unknown. A light in the dark! The smoke had been so thick for many days giving an uneasy feeling not knowing where or how close it really was...seeing these daily maps and links to others are a Blessing! Thank you, Kate, thank you all for sharing your talents and gifts with us!

• Good Morning Lucas. Thanks for the maps. Can you tell me where we can read the up-to-date weather info from the 'blue WX rectangles' (portable weather stations) on the map? During meet at CMS last Thursday, the spokesman for these WX stations did refer to a website for them, but I did not jot it down. It would be useful to get that info. Thanks.

• The weather information for the "blue WX rectangles" can be located at: http://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/raws_ca_monitor.cgi?rawsflag=1&state=SOCC&type=0&orderby=n&day1=31&month1=7&year1=2016&hour1=14&refrsh=0&timeobs=12

  Scroll down to SC07 Central Coast. There are 6 IRAWS which stands for Incident Remote Automated Weather Stations. Each are labeled with a number and location. This page is a summary (refresh the page to get the latest observations) but there are hyperlinks to each station for more detailed information. Hope this helps.

• Thank you, Larry! I'll include your link in the post.

• We just moved into this area earlier this year. Under the unfortunate circumstances, we were lucky to discover this blog site. We don't know the people behind this tireless effort, but are in deep gratitude for the valuable and timely dissemination of information you provide us.

• Great work, Lucas. Studying these detailed maps, in conjunction with Kodiak Greenwood's photos, and Keith Vandervere's descriptions are unbelieably helpful. I have learned more about the geography of this area in the last 10 days than I learned in 32 years

• Wow! Great maps. The infrareds show the most accuracy around pico blanco ( or pico blacko). From clear ridge we watched the fire surround the mountain and work it's way down the south side yesterday and last night.

• Living near Seattle on an island, I feel out of touch with my home and roots there on the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur where my daughter, Laura lives. This website is the very most information one can get from this distance, and it is vital to us who need to know how family and friends are surviving this fire. Thank you so much, great effort.

• I agree! I've learned so much more about the back country geography. Thank you for all of your timely information, Kate!
  Does anyone know how hot (ºF) this fire is burning?
  Stay safe, one and all!
