Good luck Hikermor!!
Glad that you are back in your house.

I can see the smoke from the Thomas fire, when I am driving near my house. The fire is distant and not a threat at my location. But the cloud of smoke is very big. It's still not clear if Summerland and Montecito will lose homes due to this blaze.

Yes - it is tragic that a lot of people have lost their homes right before Christmas. Glad that you are not one of them.
