Tea Fire

Hi Everyone!


I am sorry I am just getting to you right now but its been a hectic last five days. I wanted to let everyone know that although I was evacuated from my home, my place is ok and I am fine too. I happened to be in LA when the fire started but rushed back, dropped off Charlie in Westlake and came back to Santa Barbara to grab a few things and head over to a friends to spend the night.


There was a rush of panice all over Santa Barbara as people were evacuating and trying to get to safety. Unfortunately some of the agents in my office and some of our clients did loose their homes. I pray that God offers them some comfort during this terribly difficult time. I will be looking into charitable causes (such as places where they can get clothes etc) and posting them soon.


If you are a local, I am sure by now you have found several websites to aide you during this time. My personal favorite was the http://www.independent.com/ as they had an incredibly accurate map http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=113022420691920912386.00045b9ef1712164139a6&t=h&ll=34.451369,-119.689693&spn=0.10206,0.222988&source=embed


The SantaBarbara.gov website is another source for inforamation regarding the fire.


For those of you who know people who lost their homes in the Tea Fire please have them contact me if they want a list of rentals. I am more than happy to help.


Also, if they have the means to do so I still have those two very inexpensive downtown new construction listings available. See earlier post.


I will be writing you all tonight about being prepared what items you should have ready to go in case of fire or emergency.


Thanks for all your emails and calls.



Many Hugs,

Jennifer
