I took some shots of the wildfire that blazed through Montecito last night and is creeping into Santa Barbara. Currently they aren't giving much information about containment, but the winds have died down considerably and they have air bombers and a DC-10 making drops. So far, upwards of 100 homes have burned.



Edit: I have no idea how to make the images clickable links, but they can be found in my profile.

Made them clickable for you. Just click and enter the image number in there.

Nice shots. The devastation is incredible, hope your home is safe. Winds are supposed to gust up to 60mph tonight down here around LA, hopefully they will stay calm up there. You can submit them to ABC 7 online: //abclocal.go.com/kabc/feature?section=news/videos_photos&id=5788268.

My mom left me an IM about this morning her time. She didn't know at that time (or didn't mention) that 100 homes have burned. She has a very good friend who lives in Montecito. And the homes there are very, very expensive. Hope they get it contained soon. The fires there always make her (and me) nervous.

And Germaine, check in please!

That's crazy! I was standing on top of a hotel (I can't remember the name...it's the one on the boardwalk that has the rainbow colored arch out front) and we could see everything. My friend is the manager so he let me on the roof for a few hours. I'll post my pictures later tonight.

Nice Tom. Seems like things are calming down tonight, though I'm feeling a slight breeze. I'm glued to the TV to see what's going to happen tonight.
