My former SIL and my grandkids had to evacuate at 2AM yesterday in Venture. They said the flames were just yards away. I saw a picture of a house that I recognized that’s a little over a block away from his that was completely inflamed.he went back last night and was pleasantly surprised his house was still there. My daughter lives on the other side of town and was ready to evacuate all day yesterday but fortunately didn’t have too. She said the smoke was really bad.
My daughter and her family evacuated Monday night. They live in Ojai and my grandsons go to the Thacher School. The fire is nipping at the edges of the school.
very scary...
