A tiny house stood on the property along Highway 150 between Ojai and Santa Paula that Lorrie and Jake Colborn bought in 1975. Having renovated countless Craftsman-style homes, Jake put his skills to work. Authorities believe hundreds of homes have been lost, both in rural areas and in the heart of Ventura. About 150 yards away, the home of the Colborns’ neighbors — the Lindsay family — stood nearly untouched. The Colborns stood with their daughter and reckoned with how the home they built over 42 years vanished in a flash.
