Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Santa Barbara were built and the answer is 1965 at the median, 85.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1965 with over eight in ten predating 1990, a good part of this housing sits on or below slopes that have burned within living memory, close enough to the hills that what moves down them arrives at the buildings.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Santa Barbara has a normal low below freezing, and December is the coolest at 46.1 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in January at 4.43 inches of an annual 18.98; both figures recorded at SANTA BARBARA, 1.9 miles away. January is the wettest month at 4.43 inches of an 18.98-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the rain comes in a handful of winter storms; an intense hour of that rain on a recently burned slope is the condition that moves material.
How water losses tend to end in Santa Barbara
- A flow carrying rock, mud and debris rather than water, which behaves nothing like a flood
- Material entering a building at speed and filling rooms rather than wetting them
- Mud left behind that has to be removed before anything can be dried or assessed
