Residents of Southern California's mountain towns are still struggling to dig out and get necessities in the aftermath of a record-setting blizzard last month. MarcioSanchez06 reports from Lake Arrowhead.
Free food distribution centers have been set up at five locations, including the community of Crestline, which sits at an elevation of about 4,600 feet .
A line of people waited there Monday to pick up food and necessities, such as toilet paper stacked in a parking lot. “Imagine not having any food in your house after being trapped for 13 days,” resident Michelle Calkins told KTLA-TV. Pablo Tello, another Crestline resident, picked up a replacement for a broken shovel so he could get back to helping dig snow away from homes, with special attention to buried gas lines that have been linked to several fires.Tello said his snowshoes used to be placed over his fireplace as a decoration, but now he’s using them to help his neighbors and seniors not able to leave their homes.
