I can't remember the winds being this bad during fire season and this many fires all burning at the same time.
Santa Barbara, Ventura county, LA, Orange and SD all get heck duringthis time of year every year. It's sad because we are talking about some beautiful areas and also some expensive houses and not so expensive houses.
Thad mentioned Oakland..I remember that. I also remember one year a really bad fire in Santa Barbara where a lot of houses were lost.

we're on talking terms again??? well Praise the Lord!!!

Calif. has had a lot of fires up in Tahoe and all of the sierra forest areas. most of those came from lightning strike. most of the south fires start from arsonist. I think Oakland was on of the exceptions ? I'm surprised we haven't had another fire like it up here since it's also been very dry.
It seems like when it does rain though, we end up with mud slides because the ground is so hard
