Fire... anybody from up in Santa Barbara can report about the kids at Westmont and the folks in those parts?
Is the 101 open or closed?

I have no heard any reports (am watching KEYT right now) that 101 is closed. Regarding the kids in the gym, I am unsure if they are out. I will keep you updated as I hear more.

Prayers that no lives are taken and secondarily no homes and Westmont is protected as much as God can.

Large fraction of downtown SB is without power. TV station went off air, and back now on generators (KEYT). County fire dept. has no update on their web page. All County Sheriffs (burn is in county of SB, not SB city) on and off duty to report to HQ in uniform. Area hasn’t burned in 45 odd years. No control burns due to air pollution laws leaves area with years of growth ready to go. Winds high.

Santa Barbara had some bad fires in 1964, 1977, and 1990. Hope they can quickly put this one out.

And in 2008. Pretty close to 10000 acres on the front side above Goleta.

I was one who evacuated for that one. We were not in Goleta though many of us were in Santa Barbara foothills in the country area. No homes lost. Thank you God and all the firefighters. Fire ended up 1/2 to 1 mile from my home. It is so scary. God Bless to all tonight.

It has been dry for the past couple of weeks; a warm day... and November...
The last Malibu fire was a similar situation.

My best friend’s daughters got to Westmont. They’ve evacuated, so they are safe.
Very sad for the school.
To: Porterville
My gosh. We can see the flames from our house! This thing is moving. Having just been through one fire, this just breaks my heart. Prayers everyone. Winds, pray the winds go down.

Violent, frenzied Prop 8 demonstrations against churches and now this. Coincidence?
