A couple in Laurel Canyon is concerned about the fate of their house after it cracked and shifted following the winter storm in Southern California Wednesday.
is concerned about the fate of their house after it cracked and shifted following the winter storm in Southern California Wednesday.
Whiteley said that isn't the only problem. The road leading to their house, which is off of Laurel Canyon and Lookout Mountain, is now impassable, and that's an issue the two have been dealing with for quite some time, now exacerbated by the storm. "There is no access and my boyfriend's truck is stuck up there with his work gear so he can't get to work. Who do we call for help? Emergency services can't get up there anymore," said Whiteley.
"The house is leaning with weight onto the gas meters that are below our house. It doesn't take much to figure out that that is a potential hazard and if a hazard occurs, nobody can get to us to deal with us," said Charnoski.
