After the winds picked up on Thursday night, the mountains behind the La Cumbre shopping center in Santa Barbara exploded into flames, some reaching thousands of feet in the air. This was one of the most intense firestorms to watch, and even though we were far enough back, the heat was still intense. Shortly after we left, my girlfriend Jenny's horses were evacuated from the Amapola Ranch off of Turnpike. Over 60 horses were evacuated within the hour.
