I had to go hunt on the internet. No cell phone service right now.
UPDATE 1:10 p.m. - Though authorities hoped to open the Skyway for travel both ways between Paradise and Chico, they report that they are unable to do this currently. Those traveling from Paradise to Chico need to use a route other than the Skyway. Leave extra travel time, as Neal and Clark Roads have had a lot more traffic than usual due to the Skyway closures.
Under a few of the updates from Tuesday morning, we will republish the Paradise Zone Maps.

UPDATE 12:15 p.m. - There is still an evacuation warning for Zone 9 in the Town of Paradise, and for residents and businesses on Lower Skyway. The Upper Honey Run Zone is the only one under an evacuation order at this time. Parts of the Skyway (Lower) and Honey Run Road are still closed at this time and should be avoided if possible.

UPDATE 11:30 a.m. - The Red Cross Shelter at the Neighborhood Church in Chico will be closed by noon Tuesday. Everyone who stayed at the shelter on Monday night were allowed back into their homes on Tuesday morning.

UPDATE 7:45 a.m. - The Honey Fire is now 40 percent contained.
We can relate to that here. Sometimes the smoke is as thick as fog here in town and it feels like the fires are right here when in fact they are many miles, sometimes hundreds of miles, away. The other night the northern Colorado and Montana smoke was filtering down here so much that we went outside to be sure the house wasn't on fire.
