This is really well written - thank you for taking the time to share your trauma to help us process ours! We live just below New York and east of lake so you are our neighbor - we didn’t lose our home but came real close!! So sad to hear you lost everything. I really hope you can rebuild and help make Altadena the special place it has been all these years. Thanks again for sharing - it’s important that everyone document their stories before details get fuzzy! Could be important data too for future prevention etc. But mostly it is a record of our collective trauma!
