What global warming?

We have a family member in Ventura on level 3, just across the street from full evac. We lost our own home to wildfire in 1994. Living here in e. Washington I know and sympathize with what you are going through. O my god - best wishes to all!

I passed through Ventura 24 hours ago and I did not see signs of the fire. It happened so fast.

who is really close to the fire, but he's confident it won't jump the 126. Fingers crossed for everyone out there.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
