All safe. We evacuated.
We were given word that Topanga Canyon is under a mandatory evacuation and we immediately left. No electricity, cell service and smoke in the sky. We didn't need much else to send us the signal to get out.
.
Santa Ana winds are sometimes designated with a red flag warning and when a fire is present the evacuation of the Santa Monica Mountains is decided by the Los Angeles and Ventura County Fire departments. We take it really seriously and don't wait for a thing.
We are on our 5 day of evacuation and are hoping for calming winds as scheduled. The repopulation of some of the other communities in the mountains has begun.
Here is a link to our various social media for current updates. We wanted to give everyone a heads up on why were aren't answering the phones, responding quickly to emails and are not around.
