We woke up this morning to a very aggressive Thomas Fire that moved quickly due to uncontrollable winds. Here are some photos from our readers.

I took these this morning on the Riviera on Camino Alto. There was a home that was never rebuilt after the fires that has a foundation still in place right off the road. It overlooks the Montecito Foothills and Sycamore Canyon.

Edhat readers often share a unique perspective on Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, so it’s no surprise their photos often capture interesting points of view.
We’ve compiled the photos and video sent to us by edhat readers surrounding the Thomas Fire.

Edhat readers share photos of the Thomas Fire
By EastBeach
These photos were shot from my deck during the regional power outage. Between 11:00 pm and midnight, the glow of the Thomas fire to the southeast was very apparent from the lower Riviera. Headlights of traffic headed up the 101 from Ventura can be seen in the time exposure at lower-right. (see photo above)
Around 1:00 am lots of smoke from the fire drifted over the lower Riviera and cast an orange palor over the moon.
