Fires are raging in SoCal, and although not close to Santa Barbara, they are close to several friends of mine.
David Lawrence, my favorite cookbook author (Boy Eats World!) is in Santa Clarita. Sue R. is in Thousand Oaks. Cathy Silvers is in Valencia. Many, many Borders pals are in various Valley locations. As far as I know, all are safe at the moment.
It's one of those things a California dweller learns to live and deal with - sudden, unexplainable, often very serious, even deadly wildfires. No more horrible than hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, tornadoes in the heartland, floods nearly everywhere, heatwaves in the desert states, and ice storms in the East and Northeast and Midwest. And did I mention earthquakes?
Where to live? Where is it completely safe? Nowhere, really. Every place, every section of the country has its issues and "downsides."
I guess it all boils down to: live where you love living, and hope for the best. Just like everyone else.
Stay safe, everyone - K8.
