Omg how awful I cannot begin to imagine I just hope your family and friends are all safe at this time š
Im so sorry OP. I was just creeping through your posts to see photos of the house before it was destroyed.
You and I have a lot in commonā¦Iām a horse person and century owner too and I canāt even fathom what you are going through.
Your home was beautiful and Iām hoping you and your family and friends are all safe.
I am so sorry. I saw from your post history that you had just moved in barely a month ago. My heart breaks for your loss and I hope you and your family have a smooth road back to peace and security
My mind cannot wrap itself around this catastrophe! I pray you find the strength you need to make it through this trial.
Beyond tragic.
Just such a heartbreaking loss of architecture. Iām so sorry for you, your family, and your community.
So sorry for your loss.
I was looking at tracking maps early on very mournfully for some of these old, established neighborhoods.
I am, of course, sad for the people who have been touched by these fires first and foremost though. We evacuated for the Marshall Fire and fortunately didnāt lose anything, but it was extremely traumatic. This is shaping up to be so much larger, so much worse.
But I also think it is okay to mourn for the architecture, history, culture, and spaces that were important to *someone,* even just one person. I donāt wish this experience on anyone.
Iām so sorry for your loss and the loss of the entire neighborhood. Unimaginable.
Heartbreaking.
So much history and art has been lost. Sending you love from Long Beach. ā¤ļø
This is beyond heartbreaking.
You honored the legacy of the home just by living in it and maintaining the history. I’m glad you’re okay, but this is heartbreaking.
As a fellow LA century homer, my heart is so broken for you and everyone else facing this. I’m glad you and your family are safe, and hopefully your horses are too, but this tragedy cuts so deep.

Omg so sorry for you and your neighbors. Thatās just devastating.
I lived in Altadena for 5 years, moved away 2 years ago. The absolute charm of the architecture and that much of the town hadn’t been changed made the place. It had streets that were just delightful to walk around and peak at homes. From gorgeous old mansions to tiny craftsman bungalows and Janes Village in the middle.
I am so sorry OP.
Absolutely devastating. My heart breaks for you. Let us know if there is anything we internet strangers can do to support the recovery effort in CA!
I feel bereft for you – my heartfelt condolences to everyone facing this reality.
So much loss, from the human and animal lives to beautiful architecture. So tragic. Sending positive thoughts from Oakland and SF.
Iām so fucking sorry for all of the loss you all are dealing with
So sorry, itās just horrible, between the loss of life and the amount of destruction being just staggering. Where do you even begin doing all of this rebuilding.
Iāve been checking out effspot and John Hicks on YouTube, theyāve been rolling around showing the damage. Itās so sad.
Very sorry this happened and I hope you and your family are able to rebuild soon. Also sorry to see so many great examples of fine craftsmanship lost. Truly sucks all the way around.
Sending love and from Hollywood. My mom went through two fires, I know how devastating it is. All I can offer is sympathy and support. ā¤ļø
Heartbreaking in so many ways.
I’m so sorry.
Devastating loss, absolutely heartbreaking.
Thinking of you doesn’t help much, but we’re doing it, unbelievable tragedy. Hope we don’t find out this was intentional, I can’t take many more examples of how sh*tty people can be without wanting to throw in the towel.
We were all talking about clocks and mantels less than two weeks ago.
I am so, so sorry.
That’s absolutely awful. I’m so sorry this happened to you and your neighbors.

Iām so sorry.
