Santa Barbara on fire again...

Just when you think wildfire season is over...

The fire is in an area of town where the uber-wealthy and celebrities live (yes, even Oprah). However, Westmont College has already lost some buildings and many other schools are threatened. Also, a Frank Lloyd Wright house is in the vicinity and is threatened as well. This is a bad fire and a lot of resources are being utilized to contain it and put it out quickly.

It doesn't appear that my parent's house is threatened. They are evacuating people and pets to my old high school which is like 1/4 mile from my parent's house, so the officials think our neighborhood is safe. However, the SB winds are very unpredictible.

For more information you can check out the Santa Barbara Independent.

When I heard about the fires on the news, I thought of your parents. I hope the winds don't shift and put them in danger.
