A life and death situation is unfolding in mountain communities like Crestline. The fear among residents is that those who can't make it out of the snow are in some serious danger.
However, emergency ready-to-eat meals are being handed out in the parking lot to those who need it."I've been up on this mountain my whole life from Big Bear to here in Crestline, and this is the worst storm I've seen in 30 some odd years I've been up here," Gordon said.
"We only stay stocked up for maybe three or four days, and the grocery store is just down the street, so we're like it's not a big deal, but then when the grocery store collapsed and all these trees are snapping and we're in and out of power it's real hard right now," Gordon added."I bought these strictly for decorations to put over my fireplace in my living room and right now these are a lifesaver," Tello said while holding an ornament.
