The Tea Fire

Santa Barbara is, once again, fighting another fire. The Tea Fire started yesterday evening and burned 100 homes overnight. The winds were gusting up to 70mph but have since calmed down to 5mph - hopefully they keep calm. The temperature today is expected to reach record breaking highs (90 degrees!) ... the firefighters have their work cut out for them.

Thankfully, we have not been put under an evacuation warning so our neighborhood is safe for the time being.

UPDATE: The fire is under control and most of the mandatory evacuations have been lifted. Click here to see more pictures of the fire's progression.
