Wildfires - Santa Cruz Mountains

Having lived next to mountain ranges in Utah all of my life I have witnessed the first hand the mighty power of a wild fire, more than once. This morning a news story caught my attention, there is a fire in the Santa Cruz, CA mountains, that just forced a Bonny Doon a town of 2000 to evacuate. I thought that was close to Scotts Valley, the home of Embarcadero Developer Tools (Codegear). A quick search of google maps, showed that Bonny Doon is just 15 miles away. Having seen wild fires go miles in just a matter of days, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope the employee's there families and friends are not impacted.
