Weary and anxious from a week of massive infernos burning around Los Angeles and now facing dire new warnings, residents gathered up their pets and family photos and prepared to flee at a moment’s notice as fire-fueling winds blasted Tuesday across Southern California, APA reports citing AP.
The dangerous winds, predicted to reach near hurricane-force in some areas, were likely to peak shortly after sunrise Tuesday. A beefed-up firefighting force was staged to attack flareups or new blazes, a week after the first still-burning fires began and destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 24 people.
Tabitha Trosen packed the meaningful things in her life and was “teetering” on the edge, constantly fearing her neighborhood could be next.
“Our cats are ready to go, we have their carriers by the door prepped with their little stuffed animals and things like that,” Trosen said. “It’s like, how do I take care of myself, and what are the things that will ground me as a human and remind me of my background and my life and my family.”
