 for those of you wondering what the heck this "jesusita fire" looks like.. and for those of you who want to see more of my photography (caroline!) even though i'm sure you don't want to see more under these circumstances.





thankfully we have the wonderful LA FIRE, fire depts and other people working hard to save lives and houses.




flames are craaaazy!




lots of people busy evacuating.. and others investigating.




it's snowing.. ash!




looks like molten lava up there. "dante's peak", anyone?




more pictures are up on my website
under "santa barbara fires", images 1-12.
montecito tea fire pictures are still up, images 13-22.

161. updates on fire

SO apparently the house that caught fire (and burned down) on my street caught on fire due to the embers flying in those damn winds. the rest of the houses in my neighborhood (at least as far as my family could see) were fine, no idea about the culdesacks (sp?) that we can't see. apparently one of my friend's fence was on fire as she left :| 


my family DID evac safely to fullerton (bro's gf's parents' house).. but they went back to check on the house, found most of the neighbors had stayed.. and then.. they decided to stay. even though that one house was still burning :( it was 2 houses up, across the street. MAn! i was so scared :( but they kept telling me not to worry. i called up another friend neighbor and they had evac'd but their uncle had stayed.. she said she'd call me when her uncle evac'd and told me not to worry. she hasn't called at all so i guess it's ok.

my parents called later and told me everything was fine so far, just that they were tired and there was LOTS of smoke in the air. i'm going to call in a few min to see how it is.. 

went to jeff's and played guitar hero.. eun young came over too. ate ice cream and played.. drums is fun :) i'm sort of picking it up! yay.
