Not much to say except that the evacuation boundaries remain the same since my update late last night. Officials are encouraging people to 'not worry' as the fires are pretty far back in the hills at this point (though they look deceptively close). They're also making sure that anyone in or near a 'warning zone' knows they should be 'ready to go' at a moments notice should things (wind) change.
Fortunately, it seems like the cool, onshore winds are gently blowing the flames (which are still huge) up the mountains instead of into Santa Barbara.
Here is a regularly updated Jesusita Fire map along with shelter info, phone numbers, etc..
I took a few pictures at the shelter today, which I will upload later. For now, here are some night shots from this evening. We ate at 5-Points and shot some big flare-ups from the VONS parking lot. Then we drove out to a secret overlook near the freeway and Hollister.. And finally back to our downtown rooftop.
