We got out of town yesterday to Buellton and Los Alamos for the fresh air. But
when we got to Los Alamos they’d just had a fire break out in Drum Canyon. We
wound up watching the air assault for 30 minutes while walking around town. It
was impressive with 4 or 5 helicopters and 2 fixed wing planes. Seemed like
they were just mopping up there as we drove home.
But we got to Goleta and the thick brown smoke and flames were visible along
the ridges by Montecito Peak. The wind must have been hellacious during the day
because a window and a door had blown open at our house. The winds were still
so strong that there was no air support.
The wind died down as forecast around 10:00pm and this morning we awoke to the
sound of non-stop helicopters filling up with water at Laura Canyon and
dropping that on the fire to the east. We don’t see any flames now and not that
much smoke either. So we’re hopeful that they are containing it on the western
flank.
We’re in a voluntary evacuation area and plan to stay.
An unexpected benefit of the wind yesterday: the thick layer of ash that
covered everything mostly blew away. Hopefully out to sea. We still have the
thin layer of soot everywhere outside though.

Z&T: sheltering at RT. Z spent last PM at the state beach just past
Fairview. Highly recommended for fresh air - and free for evacuees. We
spent the previous week in Pasadena w/friend.
Dr. Hegarty: sheltering on campus
How about the rest of you?
Cheers,
