"I love you, Altadena. Grateful for my family and pets getting out last night before it was too late (and endless gratitude to friends for taking us in and bringing us clothes and blankets). Honestly, I’m in shock and feeling numb for all so many have lost, including my family. My children’s school is gone. Our favourite restaurants are levelled. So many friends and loved ones have lost everything, too. Our community is broken but we will be here to rebuild together. Sending love to all affected and on the front lines trying to get this under control."
