Re: Just saw some photos of Ventura CA fire damage

I haven't been effected by either of the big fires in Northern California or Southern California as I am right in the middle but damn it has been devastating! I know of one person, my nephew, who had to be evacuated in minutes but his house wasn't damaged.

Pretty scary stuff!

My niece had to evacuate from the house where she had been renting. Took her dog and what she could get in her SUV - everything else is gone...

Re: Just saw some photos of Ventura CA fire damage

Friends had to evacuate but their house has been spared....so far. They were going back this morning til another fire threatened and they decided to stay put in their camper in Port Hueneme for the time being.

I've seen several media photos of classic cars burned up.
