On Monday afternoon, people packed the civic auditorium to attend a community meeting to get answers to their pressing questions of evacuation orders, what’s next and who is in Shasta County to help.
One couple attending this meeting lost their home off Iron Mountain Road after living there for only 11 months.
You kind of go numb. You grab stuff like, ‘Why did I get that and not that that was right next to it?’ you know,” said Kathy Williams.
She and her husband Steve moved to Shasta County from South Lake Tahoe. They evacuated at a moment’s notice after their son-in-law came pounding on their door.
“Friday night we found out that our house was gone and we’ve just been crying and don’t know what to do. I hate that thing where people cry on TV,” Williams said.
They lost everything, but their lives.
