I live about 10 miles from the Thomas fire (Ventura). It started Monday evening in the midst of seasonal gusty Santa Ana winds. Today (Friday) it's burned over 123,000 acres, with only 10% containment.

It roared through parts of Ventura, Ojai, Santa Paula and Filmore displacing over 27,000 residents. Over 400 homes have burnt to the ground. All evacuation centers are bustling with weary people, animals of all kinds, and volunteers.

Currently the wind driven flames are being pushed (inland) NW and E over unoccupied and National Forest land. Until the winds settle down who knows where it will hit next. There are currently 6 fires like this going on in Southern California but this one is the biggest.

Good to hear that your OK Jeff but 10 miles is a little to close

Thanks Jay. 10 miles isn't that close. Close enough to be affected by smoke and ash, but not so close to be able to see flames. THAT would be close!!!!

I'd love to see it but I don't blame you, so frustrating.

Though I've seen countless photos throughout the week, that perspective would be stunning.

11pm update, Friday night.

Wind driven flames are now fuel driven as it races over open terrain. Now 325,000 acres, 532 houses and buildings lost, and still only 10% contained.
