I biked over to Keely's, catsitting again, and took photos at about 5 and 7. And then again at 8 when it got dark. The fire went dramatically westward, even crossing the 154. This morning there was major ash fall in IV. The fire is supposedly at least 5 miles wide across the front range. 1 Geography professor lost their home, and quite a few came close. It's cooler today and the wind is pushing it up towards camino cielo. Zaca, Gap, Tea, now this.

Red Dawn, from the garden this morning
Keely pointed me to The Frame, which has some nice pics. A little UCSB pride in the last one.Mercury Press International has a lot of pics of burnt homes.
Friday (noon) 1km visibleOver at Keely's, catsitting. On the ride over the fire looked really unimpressive (5:30 pm). Smoke lazily rising straight up. Where it was burning yesterday it just looked like weak smoke. They called in a DC-10 today, so looks like it is doing it's job, at least under low winds. Also, the active part of the fire looked to be way up towards the crest, so Goleta is looking alright.
