SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA Evacuations were ordered for nearly 5,000 in Santa Cruz County Monday morning as officials eyes forecasts that showed heavy rains potentially surpassing the threshold to cause debris flow in wildfire-stricken areas.
Residents of 2,800 homes in parts of the San Lorenzo Valley and north coast of Santa Cruz County were covered by the evacuation orders in the area of the CZU August Lightning Complex scar, according to county officials. Other areas remain under an evacuation warning.
