Immediate safety concerns have subsided — but residents say they are now enduring a lingering emotional toll from the storm
While many of the storm’s immediate effects have subsided — most roads are clear and people are able to get out of their homes — residents say the memories of the harrowing weeks won’t let go.
“Honestly, sitting here, I’m ready to cry,” Mock said. “It was all about residents helping each other in the beginning. We did not have any help. Even when people got up here, we felt like we were forgotten.” At Goodwin’s Market, the beloved Crestline grocery store and community pillar that saw its roof collapse during the storm, crews are in the midst of rebuilding of most of the store. Kaleb Goodwin, whose family owns the store, walked around what used to be its floor — it’s now an enormous swath of empty, rain-soaked concrete — and detailed the recovery process.
“I think the community is devastated,” Goodwin said. “A lot of them want to move off the mountain. A lot of people are very supportive. We’ve had very positive feedback.”
