Five years to the day in Montecito

Wow,  Mother Nature is not happy.  Five years to the day, Montecito has horrible rains.

These original pictures were provided by a client of mine with a gas station at the edge of Montecito. For several months he had to truck gasoline through the central valley and Fresno to get to his gas station.  I will be interested in seeing new pictures as well as learning what the residents are doing.


Heavy rains early Tuesday night, January 9, 2018, unleashed a series of mudslides in the Montecito, California area that ran down mountainsides burned by last month’s Thomas Fire. A client of Andersen CPA sent the following Before/After images of the disaster in the Montecito area.
“The picturesque topography that drew the rich and famous here, hills and mountains rising dramatically from Pacific Ocean, fed the destructive mudslides that killed at least 20 people, wiped out 73 homes and damaged hundreds more.” – Los Angeles Times
“Buried in mud, Montecito faces a daunting cleanup with no end in sight.” – Matt Hamilton
