This iReport is part of an assignment:
Wildfires blazing near you |
Santa Barbara Jesusita Fire
These two shots show the firestorm that occured yesterday afternoon and the status of the fire this morning.
The first photo shows the results of yesterday's winds. The second photo shows the blaze just as the winds kicked in, fanning the fire in all directions.
With a High pressure cell to the wet and a low pressure cell to the east, Santa Barbara is caught in an egg-beater situation with respect to the wind.
More of the same is expected for today and tonight, Thursday, May 7th.
