BOSTON – They were exhausted, both physically and emotionally, as they waited for their luggage on Wednesday night. Hundreds of passengers landed in Boston after evacuating the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles .
Homes destroyed
“It really feels like the apocalypse,” said Laurie David. “I can count five friends now whose homes are gone, and I have a lot of friends who have no idea if their homes are gone.”
David said she raised her family in the Pacific Palisades and several family members still live there. The community is currently engulfed by flames and experiencing near total devastation. Her sister’s home burned down, and her daughter’s home is now at risk. “This was a bustling wonderful community, and I don’t understand myself how this happened so quickly,” she said.
Sebastian Antony said he was at Disneyland when the fires first started and by the time he hit the interstate to head home smoke and ash filled the air. “It feels a little hectic out there because there is so much going on,” Antony said. “I have had some experience with wildfires before but not like this.”
