Hello Friends. IN Case you are checking about the Santa Barbara Fire, Here are some pictures. I did not take these pictures. I lost my camera in the midst of evacuating our home. If I find map, I could show you the area where the fire is and where we are. We are safe, at least for now.
These pictures came from the sbcfire.com web site link to the "tea fire". There is a tea house on the hiking trails above Westmont area. The fire is named for this. Though we are very close and evacuated right now, we are not threatened at this time. I think we will be fine. The winds would have to completely change directions. We have a sundowner effect at times in Santa Barbara area, and the winds blow the opposite direction than the usual. That is why we are safe for now. We have a lot of friends who have lost homes, including 1 of the teachers from my school and 15 faculty houses have burned. The Westmont community has been hit very hard. The fire is still burning along the ridge behind the Riviera section moving towards the Mission Canyon near the Santa Barbara Mission.
Thanks to all our family and friends who have called and shared their concern or volunteered their home for us. We are at Mike and Susan Rider's home for now. We should be able to go back tonight or tomorrow.
