Fire In Santa Barbara Is Out of Control

[okfine]

The location is almost exactly in the same area as the devastating 1990 Cave Fire.
Last night, winds in the upper Montecito hills clocked at 82 mph. I was on the 101 SB and experienced that wind, and had to slow down to 35 mph while driving. Debri was everywhere. Now I know what it must be like during a hurricane or tornado. We are expecting rain tomorrow. I surely hope so, it is really dry around here.

I lived there for a couple years and left a few months before the Cave Fire. That is such a scary place for fires with the Los Padres mountains sloping down to the water and all those houses built into the hillsides.

The area between the SR154/Foothill Rd./Cathedral Oaks towards Goleta burns every year. Sometimes twice. No thank you.

ps; that is near where Tom Barrack lives

Yep I lived in Goleta I know that area well. It's a fire corridor.

Isn’t that where the tunnel is?

Never mind. That’s Gaviota. Sorry

From the maps I've seen, the evacuation zones are uncomfortably close to my mother's house—the house in which I grew up, and where my sister and two of her sons currently are also living, with my mother.

Burning in Southern Cali....major storm in Northern Cali. But I am so pleased to see the rain even though its colder than a well diggers ass right now. And wet. And windy.

If more states had California's environmental policies they would be on fire also
