Others recounted their experiences too.
“The entire neighborhood is gone. I lost everything,” said Susannah Perillat.
“We did not get notifications,” she said.
The lack of alerts is an issue that was brought up numerous times.
“I found out on Facebook. What about the people who don’t know about that stuff,” said James Williams, who said he and his wife only had about six minutes to get out of their home.
“We made it out with the clothes on our backs and our four dogs,” he said.
“I still wake up at night, sweating, having nightmares, terrors about being trapped in a house and burning alive,” said Williams.
