PLEASE READ Fire Watch for Forum Boss

I'm 25 miles East in Santa Clarita where we have the Rye Fire at 5K acres,
the Creek Fire at 11K to the South, and forum boss' fire at 50K acres all going with 60mph winds. Power is out in a lot of areas and traffic is horrendous without the signal in addition to the freeway closures.
My girlfriend is an equine vet and is evacuating, sedating, and treating a bunch of animals. Poor guys can't get out on their own. This one was saved but will probably lose an eye. Prayers for those involved.View attachment 1028024 View attachment 1028025

Holy crap that’s sad.
 
We had sort of the same thing in western Montana this year but the fall rains finally moved in and stopped it by the 3rd week of September, followed by snow @ 6,000 ft. About 1 million acres burned during most of the summer, almost all timber. Fortunately Montana is not as densely populated as S. California so the structure and property losses were not as great.

Needless to say, all I can do is wish you well and include you and the many other folks in our daily prayers.

May God Bless and Protect You.
 
Ventura is safe and stable now. But fires still threaten Ojai and Carpinteria where members of my local shooting club live and work. My "home range" is in Ojai. So far it is intact... but everything depends on the wind.
