All 34 people who were unaccounted for from California boat fire are presumed dead
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. —The Conception was an institution here in Santa Barbara’s small everyone-knows-everyone harbor and in the broader community beyond. Over generations, it carried thousands of locals on fishing trips and to scuba-certification dives at the wild Channel Islands, where it now lies perilously on the sea bottom with an unknown number of bodies inside.
The predawn fire that burned and sunk the boat is presumed to have killed 34 people — all 33 guests who had chartered the Conception for the long holiday weekend and one member of its crew. The news conjured up wistful what-if memories throughout the city, revealed in flurries of text messages to friends, one of which began: “Horrific tragedy, and my girls have slept in those bunks at some point in the last five years.”
Santa Barbara celebrity resident Rob Lowe noted on Twitter that he had been on the Conception many times.
“Everyone in my circle has a story about it,” said Grant Lepper, a marketing executive who did a “checkup dive” off the Conception a few years ago at Anacapa Island. “It was a great boat, great crew.”

I am in SoCal, so it's quite close. Also Dorian has been getting 90% of the news coverage.
It is such a horrific story.
