One day after the fire engulfed Paradise, leading some 30,000 people to evacuate, Randy Stump still stayed at home, just a few miles near the massive fire.
Insulated and without the telephone service at work, he did not realize how badly the situation had become. He had seen smoke, but he did not realize that he had to leave his house until he saw the flames, followed by the Albanian Periscope.
As he was leaving with his brother and dog, Ginger, he saw the massive destruction of the fires.
I looked like in Iraq,” said with tears in his eyes. “Everything destroyed. It's like a nightmare. ”
Those small places surrounded by forests are very popular among pensioners, many of whom found it hard to evacuate during Thursday until many were caught in traffic.
Three bodies were found outside their homes, another inside and several others in cars. The death toll is expected to rise.
It is unclear what will happen when residents return or find anything that awaits them. Those leaving reported seeing shops, fast food fasts and other city schools and buildings completely on fire. /Periscopi
