So far as I am able to understand, there is no access from the east to Simi--so there is no practical help I can offer.

Thinking of you, and hoping that if you are evacuating, you can get everything important to you out.

Empathy going your way from here, x1,000.

I'm safely upwind watching all sorts of interesting aircraft do amazing things. I went out to help a friend with their horses before the sun came up, and have been watching the airshow once we sent the horse-trailer up the road.

Yay!

This is wonderful--I've been concerned about you and your family.

Glad you were able to help with the horses, and I hope the winds die down sooner rather than later. We are getting some high-speed wind gusts down here, too.

Thank you for answering!

We're in Ojai, where amazingly the wind is not the 70 mph+ that we had during the Thomas Fire, so we're simply keeping an eye for local problems...

Is the Ojai Racquet and Swim club still around? Hope it is.

My brother spends 99% of his waking time at the Racquet Club, so if it's *not* there anymore, he's got some 'splainin' to do. :-)

Happy you aren't getting the fiercer wind gusts. The weather and news reports are saying up to 80 mph wind gusts for us.

I bet Ojai is beautiful today.

Thanks, CNB!

A short, and beautiful, visual story of a Simi Valley horse taking conscious care of his/her family, as the wildfire continued around them in the area.
