this is where I live, and I'm safe at the moment about 1 mile away from the southern edge of the fire, but the wind here is outrageous - 35-50mph, at points last night it was 80mph. The news just said it was 0% contained and is pretty much marching inexorably towards the ocean. The houses in the nice neighborhoods up on the hill behind downtown + anything in a direct line from Santa Paula (a few miles directly to the east) seem to have been hit the hardest so far here in Ventura
The power has been out for a large part of the county too, ours was out for about 12 hours and my phone died, we had no internet and no TV last night and it wasn't possible to get any info. Unfortunately, I'm sure plenty of people are still in this situation
