I live in the zone that was evacuated, north of cathedral oaks and west of patterson. The fire is currently headed right for my house. I'm currently staying with my in-laws in Thousand Oaks. Ironically the smoke was worse here than it was in the eastern part of the greater santa barbara area. I rode to Casitas Pass and partway up Gibraltar and the air was fine.
