Smoke Enshrouded Santa Barbara







I awoke to an almost surreal scene. The fire,which has been burning now for more than a month has engulfed beauthful Santa Barabara in Smoke. It has now burned more than 127, 000 acres of wildlands, but fortunately only one small structure has been destroyed. Although it's burning away from the town, the smoke itself is drifting into the community. My son had his band camp canceled this afternoon because of the air quality. Ash is everywhere and if you've got breathing problems this has to be bad.

This thermal image gives you a good sense of what's happening. We're way down below this, but hey, it's still in the air. And the map gives you a sense of how large this is.
