Strangely beautiful and disturbing. Fires tend to make for spectacular sunsets and the night time flames here provide for frightening, yet infatuating views. Check out the Gap Fire pool on Flickr (not my pictures, but beautiful): http://www.flickr.com/groups/gapfire/pool/

Just an FYI, Goleta is still burning in the foothills, I'm not under evacuation warnings, but I'm keeping up to date on the news. We're somewhat in hurry up and wait mode, hoping that the winds don't take off on us. It is certainly odd being this close to so much natural disaster, as the state of California seems to be on fire right now (while the Midwest is underwater). If you want to keep up to date on this, the two best news sources are:
