Wildfire smoke

The Zaca Lake Fire just north and west of Santa Barbara has been burning since July 4, and aparently is getting bigger. It had burned nearly 95,000 by Monday.
It's in really rough country.

Scary stuff!

The smoke from the fire get pushed over the mountains into Kern County ever afternoon and evening. It's creepy. You can see it coming straight across the western sky headed in a nearly straight northern line.

This is looking south and west at Rosedale and Allen roads on Sunday.


Then in the later evening it hangs in our air like a curtain.

This is looking du west on Rosedale at Allen road Sunday.

wow, pretty bad. i thought zaca lake was where they filmed all thos jason/friday the 13th movies. and i thought zaca lake was west of the 101, no? If it's where i'm thinking, it's right over all those wineries -- isn't that smoke bad for the grapes?

I never even heard of Zaca Lake before this.

It's terrible, more than 140,000 acres and an estimated containment sometime next month!

AAACK!!
