The day trying to determine if homes are still standing. She joins us now from davenprt. Stephanie . Its been an emotional week for people trying to see if their home is still there. We visited the Civic Auditorium just east of us that has been at full capacity for seven days in a row. Its one of the dozen shelters taking evacuees in. Its just south of here where we met many families. You notice that haze that stretches through the mountain significantly better than 48 hours ago. Their homes are in the middle of the fire zone, and all they can do now is wait. These are like tears of joy, tears of sorrow, because its very bittersweet. Its very sweet that my family is okay. Reporter Kathy Azevedo is living through the pain of simply not knowing. All you can do is take one day at a time and just be thankful for what is, you know, instead of what was. You really cant look back. Reporter mourning the thought of losing everything, she sat in her car praying for her family, her parents and her kids all displaced. Reporter this is just really devastating. I grew up in these mountains, ive lived in these mountains all my life, 64 years. This is just off the hook. Its over the top lollypop. Reporter shes staying at the Civic Auditorium, along with 17 other evacuees, placed six feet apart. Bob mcintire is her new neighbor. Emotionally were all a wreck, especially those close to the fire who are extremely worried whether or not theyll even have a home to go home to. Reporter like many, its not just his home hes worried about. His entire neighborhood, gone. A lot of forests around here were nice for decades. It will grow back slowly, but big basin is basically gone. A huge, huge area is gone. Gary and joann petemire consider themselves lucky. The fire burned out their porch, but their home is one that survived. If a tree had fallen down, we would be trapped there because there would be no way to get out. We would be stuck in the car. We were driving over embers and limbs on fire and stuff. Nothing that would stop us, but kind of scary. Reporter yet hundreds of others wont be as lucky, coming home to memories left in the rubble. Theres another live picture of that haze way far in the distance in the santa cruz mountain. This is our view along the coast side. Its certainly nice to see the cooler weather working in our favor, making less smoke than weve seen in the last 48 hours. This will make it easier for damage inspection teams to go through these neighborhoods to identify how many homes have been destroyed. A lot of these families, as i mentioned, and as you could hear in that story, are so heartbroken. They dont even know what to expect. They dont want to go into their neighborhoods. Its such a hard time for so many of these families. At this point we know the Recovery Process is a long road ahead. Were live in davenport, stephanie sierra, abc7 news. Stephanie, thank you.

We currently have only about three or four areas that we still have a lot of fire activity. Other than that, this fire, a lot of good work has happened and a lot of good things to slowly start to contain it. This fire is one of hundreds that were sparked by lightning two weeks ago. Abc7 News Reporter louis pena live in seminole where one man has been evacuated three times in nine days. Luce . Nine days, firefighters are exhausted, and whats making it difficult to fight this fire is that fighting it by air is the way to go. Were at the first fire Retardant Base for the scu lightning complex. There are two helicopters actively refueling every 5 to 10 minutes, taking care of 1200 gallons of retardant and another helicopter can take care of 2,000 gallons.

As you can see, this is a very active situation were taking a very close look at. This is one of those helicopt s helicopters. Another one left maybe one minute ago. Theyre making their way here every 5 to 10 minutes. Many firefighters telling us this is what makes a difference for the scu complex fire, this type of strategy. To fight this fire by air, to have that birds eye view and be able to know where to drop the line of defense between this fire and those homes that are he surrounding the sinole area in this community. Weve been talking to people saying they have peace of mind that theyre getting help from calfire, theyre getting help to be able to save their property and be able to survive this fire. Many of the people we spoke to today tell us that theyve been watching the fire overnight, and seeing these helicopters fly over their home gives them some sort of peace to know that there is a chance that their home might survive this fire. As we can see, theyre getting those gallons of retardant as we speak right now. Its a very active situation here. You can see the wind blowing over us, and its about to leave. This is one of two helicopters that comes to this base to pick up this fire retardant. 1200 gallons of the retardant per helicopter.

There are at least 13 homes in the welch area here, and they have been on the lookout for those flames for over a week now. Many saw it start with lightning and quickly turning into what were seeing right now. Yesterday it was like an apocalypse or something, because there were nonstop helicopters coming in, and theres a pond in the next lot over that there were huge helicopters coming down and dipping up. That was all on fire, mission peak was all on fire. We knew the mcguire peak was reporter youre basically surrounded by flames. Yeah, we had it on all sides. Reporter many of these residents stay on the lookout, just watching for these flames. They say theyre not leaving their home unless they have to and theyre staying put. This is where they decided to live and this is what theyre accustomed to. One resident said hes lived here for eight years now and knows what to expect. Hes gearing up for whats to come, but hes thankful for the help hes getting from these firefighters. Luce pena, abc7 news.

Well see fog locally across the bay but not very far inland, and then it will pull back to the coastline by midmorning, giving us a hazy and smoky day at the bay with fog at the coast. The main temperatures will be in the 50s near the coast. Near the bay, look for upper 50s to about 60 degrees and a little milder in our east bay inland communities with the lows there in the mid to low 60s. 67 in San Francisco. Mainly mid70s around the bay shoreline. Well see a few upper 70s as you move farther south. Inland east bay, upper 80s to lower 90s. Mostly 80s inland bay and south bay.

Youre right, larry, the whole experience has been sort of back and forth. I guess thats whats going to happen.
