It is 350 miles down 101 to Ventura from where I live.
The Bay Area has been advised we may get smoke from Southern California starting tonight. We are also on watch for wind conditions similar to early October in the wine country.
My sisters son and my ex-roomate is in what he thinks is a safe zone. He thinks his place will make it but there is worry about smoke. So I suggested he doesn’t make the same mistake I did here in Oregon and take action until the air filters were gone. If he never needs them great, they can de returned to Home Depot.
I’m about 30 miles from the Thomas fire, which has now burned 132,000 acres (206 square miles).
I live about 9 miles from the Creek fire, and 3 miles from the Skirball fire.
I still have all my irreplaceable items and a travel bag stashed in one place, ready to go. When the Skirball fire erupted two days ago, it was all in my car.
