These folks arent prepared for mountain life. I turned 77 yesterday and still remember my Austrian grandmas rule to be stocked with firewood for 2 yrs and having a full pantry for at least 6 month. We used to be snowed in for weeks every winter, back in the days. I can just hunker down, I cook and eat ...even if a blizzard would last for 3 month, I wouldnt get in trouble at all. Sorry folks, you ll learn it the hard way

If you sit in your home waiting for the snow to stop before you shovel, you’re ignorant and deserve to be stuck. For the last several days, you should’ve been shoveling every few hours. If you can’t open the door, climb out a window, or jump out a window. Figure it out, you chose to live there. Buffalo was so feckless 47 people died. I hope there aren’t as many dumb people living there.

I know of this community and the wonderful people that live there. One gentleman in particular that has multiple businesses across from the grocery store. I just hope he and family are safe. He has lived there for many years…one would think that with that mountain living knowledge and even with the short notice and severity exceeding normal that they might have put a little extra in the pantry as far as food. If I had to guess that community has grown a lot in the past year and with that comes inexperienced mountain dwellers. What I find odd is why they are holding people back from coming together from the outside and letting them in to assist. Yes have a plan and attack. Send drones with emergency medical supplies. Heck if they can use drones to drop drugs over the border they can find a way to get medicine or some type of food. Or drop from helicopter. A lot of those homes have multiple stories go higher and out a window. I know the storm dumped tons of snow but it would seem to me that as it came down that’s when you start making sure you have at least one clear exit. Those that live there part time didn’t have that option. Just hope their homes hold up. The gas thing is the scariest. Time to call The Diesel Brothers to lead the rescue! State of emergency with national guard isn’t a handful of retirees with shovels! Crestline isn’t that big…let those people in that are waiting in line. Power in numbers.

I am relatively new to Crestline. This is my forth winter. Thankfully we missed the thanksgiving storm and black out of 2019. I learned quickly to stock up with three to four weeks of food, wood and to shovel snow daily. People who did not bother shoveling until the sun came out were not bothering to look outside and or were too lazy. If anything many were complaining of being bored! My heart goes out to the handicapped and feeble, but winter in the mountains is no place to be if you cannot fend for yourself and have to rely on others. Those who did not stock up on food claim they did not have the means. I feel sorry for them, but I do not understand how they could not have purchased extra canned food, rice and beans over the year in annual preparation for winter. They could have even gone to the local food bank. Most locals spoke of the mountain being due for a big snow fall, but many did not bother to prepare for it. Reminds me of the story of the grass hopper who played during the summer and made fun of the ants hard at work preparing. 🙏💕🌈.

Does Southern California not experience earthquakes? I grew up in Northern California and was taught to always have emergency food supply on hand that didn’t require cooking. My point is, this blizzard or snow storm was an anomaly and can’t be planned for, but if you stocked your home with emergency food supply for earthquake preparedness, you would’ve had food to eat in an emergency. And let’s not forget the pandemic when there was fear of a shortage of food in grocery stores. Even now that I live in New York, I still maintain a supply of canned goods as emergency food supply. I always replenish it when it gets low (gotta use it before it expires after all). I hope these people get the help they need soon! I can’t imagine how scared they must be. I would be concerned! But lets learn from this experience and make sure we all have emergency food supplies.

It is equally difficult to get assistance to the residents there. You are privileged to live there and you enjoy all the perks. But when blizzard weather conditions are reported, and they were, and the aftermath of the storm storms comes to you, there are complaints. I hope when help does come your attitude would have changed and you'll be thankful that you made it through.

Here is what I am hearing from friends (Sierra, Northern CA). Some rural roads are completely closed do to hundreds of downed trees that are frozen into the snow. There is no way to plow with the trees and powerlines down. The power is out and many propane tanks have run out with no chance of refilling. No fuel for generators so no water. This is a rural area with very difficult access. In the Sierra they have had over 40' of snow with another 5' coming over the next week. It takes Buffalo NY 5 years to get 45' of snow.

Actually, no. Buffalo. NY already had 95” this one season. Get real, the actual problem is the terrain and a governor that doesn’t prepare for this nor reacts appropriated or timely. Why did he wait so long asking for assistance when he KNEW he didn’t have the ability to reach these people?

@@heartsnob I have 2 yrs worth of food and supplies stocked up in my home and happen to live in a major city. It doesn’t impact your wallet if you stock up over time like I did. It took me a little over a year to buy all of our preps. My family and I eat from that stash and replace it every 2 weeks when we get paid. We have a large deep freezer we keep half full with meats. Every time you get paid, spend an extra $40 on non-perishables and in no time, you will have an emergency pantry that will sustain you in an emergency and during financial hardships.

Some are, but if you take nothing else away from all this, if you are an adult have a couple weeks worth of food stocked up. Disasters happen every where and even 2 weeks worth of food can be stretched to a month in an emergency. If they had a head start on stocking up, then they could have easily hoarded some tap water. I live across the country and heard about the snow coming the week before. Some in the comments are heartless and I'm sure some people just couldn't be prepared.

Living in the mountains away from urban centers means being prepared for all weather events and for the ability to survive weeks without power or the ability to travel. Having battery & generator backup/fuel is essential. At the very minimum you can at least power your refrigerator, well, and the fan that blows air through/around your wood burning stove. Candles and lots of freeze-dried food. Lifestraw to at least be able to hydrate if you don’t have a well. Sitting around and complaining nobody is coming to rescue you is a flawed plan. Probably shouldn’t be living there if that’s the best you can muster. I feel bad for the children and pets subjected to the stupid decisions made by people who should know better.

ABC 7 provided a 7 day forecast, you took no warning to the fact that your out in the middle of nowhere. City services are not out yonder. You should have been prepared. The country side looks beautiful. now nature is packing a punch.y advice would be when streets are cleared up you pack up and move were the conveniences are, if that's how you face mother nature. Because this is just snow. I would not recommend sticking around when a fire, earthquake or flood shows up that's when you have to handle life at a level beyond a small snow fall. Your city folks go back to once you belong. Were city services are at a high priority for you hun. It's for the best.
