Today I posted my last SCU & CZU lightning complex fire updates on Instagram. I'd been making animated gifs from screenshots of the affected area, using Google Maps, since I became aware of the fire on Mount Hamilton almost two weeks ago. I started making animations for the SCU and CZU affected areas and evacuation maps a few days later. Luckily, after a couple days, the fire stopped moving closer to our home and after a couple weeks the evacuations areas nearby were lifted or reduced. The SCU Fire containment is currently at 60%, compared to 5% 13 days ago. I feel like I can finally stop worrying about the fire coming closer and evacuating as long as we don't get more of the high temperatures, dry weather and lighting storms that caused these fires. I'll still keep an eye on things but start unpacking my go-bag & stuff. I should put together a proper kit to have ready for future emergencies incase these wildfires start becoming a regular thing.
