Ventura County BioRegions

Not really a topical post so much as a backgrounder for people who don't have a clear idea of where I live.  This is a rough map of the microclimes and ecosystems of Ventura County. 


The Dawghaus is on the northern slope of what is here called "Camarillo Hills."   I've been to many of these biomes.  With lots of overlap they are as unique as Boston accents.

I posted some on the previous thread. No fires now?

I thought you said Ventura?

Liz, most of the fires are contained at the moment.
However fire danger is critical in many parts of California,including Sonoma County.
Showers are in the forecast for next week, which will help but we no longer have a fire "Season" as the Thomas fire amply demonstrated last December.

Any houses you know burn?

Rob Dawg said...

Many hundreds of houses I know burned including several we considered buying to live in. Tom Stone has me beat as he has no doubt experience either professionally or personally with thousands of homes the burned where he lives.

Liz, basically the bottom half of the yellow band labeled Ventura Hills was the last December housing burn.

Liz, 8 people in my office lost their homes, one co worker died in the fire.
Three clients lost their homes.
More than 30 acquaintances lost their homes that I'm aware of.
And I have ongoing health problems from breathing the smoke.

Lawyerliz said...

OMG. I'm so sorry. Are people going to rebuild? Are insurance companies being cooperative? Are loans being granted to qualified people who want to buy in the area.
Health issues being addressed?

Worse than wind!

New post.

Lawyerliz said...

Or build. Is it a good idea to rebuild even.

Liz, Muddy Biker is rebuilding. Posts updates on progress. At present has to remove the dirt, bring in new dirt, compact and then start the foundation.
