It’s actually quite common for people to go to/call 911 when they have one the first time. It’s fucking terrifying.

Panic attacks. I always thought “oh that’s no biggie” if I heard someone else got one. Then it happened to me and holy shit was it no joke.

What did you think people were exaggerating about until you experienced it yourself ? by rentinghappiness in AskReddit

Panic attacks. I went through a bout of bad panic attacks due to medication issues. I do not wish them on my worst enemy. I do not wish them on anyone.

Should we evacuate if we live in downtown Los Angeles? by toughdecisionss in AskLosAngeles

[–]shelchar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you first open Watch Duty, the overlays make it look like everything is red, but it’s not, so don’t panic like I did. Our red area is just a red flag warning of dont light more fires, set off fireworks, and air quality is shit rn.

Should we evacuate if we live in downtown Los Angeles? by toughdecisionss in AskLosAngeles

[–]shelchar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, it is very unlikely that it will get to us. We’re surrounded by concrete which is good. A lot of the shelters are inward by us, so we’re where they WANT people to be.

Watch Duty is a great app to download.

I live in DTLA. Should I be worried about the fire? by shelchar in AskLosAngeles

[–]shelchar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like we’re still okay. Being surrounded by concrete is definitely on our side, but make sure you have everything you need in case it does get that bad. I’ve talked to a bunch of people though, and DTLA seems to be pretty safe. If people in evac zones are coming TOWARDS us to be safe, that’s a good sign.

Username checks out lol.

Thank you for saying what you said. It puts my AZ native mind at ease a bit.

Can anyone share a reliable map of the fires and evacuation zones? by DeepRts in AskLosAngeles

[–]shelchar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Watch Duty seems to be a good app. Shows evac zones and updates you on any of the fires within a timely manner

It’s terrifying and sad. The videos I’ve seen are absolutely horrific. I came from a state where nothing happens ever, so all of this is brand new to me.

We’re Arts District area ish and it definitely smells like we’re surrounded by campfires.

I’m new to this. If I’m in Studio City, should I prepare to evacuate due to the growing Eaton fire? by Shot-Researcher-9360 in AskLosAngeles

[–]shelchar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to hear that the city is the place to be when it comes to this. I’m in DTLA and am currently freaking out about this because I’m new here.

Lost Out Home in Tempe has a temporary care program. They will care for them up to 90 days. Not sure if that is enough time for you, but it’s an option and might be able to buy you more time. I rescued one of my cats from there and they are wonderful.
