Her Brentwood neighborhood appeared to be a war zone the next day Lindsay Rupp saw her Los Angeles home as the destructive fires burned swiftly across the state. The mother of two, who was born in Canada and has resided there for more than 20 years, had returned on Wednesday night to look at anything she saw that she” thought I might have or that my kids may have.” Before she realized the route in and out would remain closed, she stuffed it all into garbage bags. As she drove back down the hill from Mandeville Canyon, just a few miles northeast of the blaze that was consuming the Pacific Palisades, “it was about apocalyptic”, Rupp told Global News in an interview. ” The horizon was black”, she said. ” The lights were on the ocean, like one ravine away. So I was aware that time was of the essence to escape that.” Rupp even recalls how mysteriously private her street was. ” It was almost like a lonely city”, she said. ” I almost felt like it was like the middle of the night, but it was 9 a. m. in the morning” .1: 18
L. A. wildfires: Furious winds delay but may return over weekend, authorities warnMultiple flames have engulfed areas around Los Angeles, destroying dozens of structures and forcing tens of thousands of people to leave to health. Rupp herself is staying with associates in California, and her children, aged nine and seven, are with her ex-husband in a safe place outside. Exceptionally high winds have spread the flames, which have been more igniting due to extreme drought conditions, making it challenging for fire crew to contain the fire. Rupp says” many pals” have lost their homes. She was receiving photos of flames” only yards away from our home” from neighbors and friends on Wednesday only when she learned of six neighborhood homes that had burned down. ” It’s been a very tough some time”, she said through grief. She even has friends who reside in the Palisades, according to her, whose group has been “pretty little destroyed.” ” I’ve had some friends who have gone back and walked through the premises, and it’s just devastating”, she said, with homes, institutions, and sporting fields that her boys had played on all destroyed. ” All gone”, she said. 3: 59
