Los Angeles wildfire survivors recall trauma: ‘World ending, constant fear’

So, we need the public’s help in order to make sure we do not have any additional sparks,

Acuña said

Just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge the tragedy that LA is dealing with at this time,

the Modesto, California, native said

It’s one of those moments where you realize this is the best of humanity coming out. The best of Angelinos, best of Americans. Everyone is pitching in,

said Castle

Usually what happens is the animals get surrendered or there’s temporary housing that’s needed,

said Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society

I and the CBC, the Congressional Black Caucus, for example, are curious about who decided to sacrifice Altadena, a historically Black community in the L.A. County area,

Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a US Representative for California, told CNN’s Sarah Sidner

Imagine if you’re driving down the freeway at 70 mph, you stick your hand out flat and have the wind press against that: That is the wind that’s happening from Ventura to northern LA,

Acuña told CNN’s Kate Bolduan

As our students, teachers, and families navigate this crisis, we are asking for the support and assistance of local businesses, organizations, and individuals to assist in finding a safe, accessible space for our school,

Today’s winds have already started to ramp up and will continue to accelerate through mid-morning,

the National Weather Service in Los Angeles warned early Tuesday

They are usually very concerned about the wind speed and turbulence which can hamper their efforts,

he told CNN

As an IMET, we … know that our weather information is being used to make significant decisions about resources, tactics, evacuation and repopulation,

he told CNN

When we look at reconstruction, how do we do it using an equity lens? And also, how do we make sure that we are allowing families to go back and build their homes without losing the character and the essence of that particular city

she said

You know, you’ve got nearly 100 animals there, all at once, being loaded up. The community coming together, everybody lending a hand,

she said

In the National Weather Service, I think this is the best gig in the agency,

he said

But what we do know is that power was shot off in Altadena. What we do know is that residents were not given adequate time to leave their homes,

she said,

Everything just felt like, ‘Oh man, the world’s ending,

said Kang

The whole time I was thinking, I don’t know what I’m going to find when I get back here and after 40 years, you know, you got a lot of stuff you forget about that would disappear if the house burned down. So we’re thankful that it didn’t,

he said

Fine particulates are airborne, even in areas not impacted by the fires. Especially children and older adults, especially those with serious health complications, are particularly at risk,

Horvath said

Right now we have the task force that is robust, they're identifying cause and origin for each of these separate fires. None of them have been ruled out as arson. They are ongoing investigations,

Dominic Choi, with the LAPD, told reporters today

California is taking greater action to continue supporting businesses that have been devastated by the Southern California wildfires,

Newsom said in a statement

You represent the best of America and we are in your debt,

the statement said
