Keeping Watch over the Santa Barbara Fires


I've seen a number of pictures from this fire, especially night ones, and it is eerie and threatening. Significant damage has been done to homes and structures throughout the area. I've mentioned Mt. Calvary Monastery earlier and Westmont College has been especially hard hit (about 14 faculty homes apparently have been destroyed along with several dorms and class rooms). This thing is not over by any stretch of imagination. It's late in the afternoon now and typically this is when the winds kick up. As you can see by the map, this is a dangerous fire for the Santa Barabara area.

Again, our thoughts and prayers are with my former neighbors.
