This video shows him heading home when he was warned about a slide coming down the hilly street.  Mark says he reversed for two blocks at 30 MPH to successfully escape.  Whoa!

He's alive. Don't know about his house. One other good old friend in SB FB'd his OK this afternoon, but he lives out on the mesa, away from the hills and slides.

Still, he's gotta be going through major stress and heartbreak for his friends in town. 

He used to own a video store right on the main road in Montecito, I saw some news vids last night, that street is flooded with smashed tumbled cars strewn about.  the Freeway underpass shot that's been fideo featured is right behind his old store.

That would be scary as hell. That sound is amazing.
