“Hey guys, so I’m in Los Angeles, and the wildfires are crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is insane. We just got an evacuation order, like five minutes ago. So I quickly packed all my stuff, and I’m evacuating out of this area,” she said, visibly shaken. Nora mentioned that she planned to head towards the airport and hoped to catch her flight, though she expressed concern about potential cancellations due to the ongoing crisis.
The actress continued, “I hope it doesn’t get cancelled because this sh** is scary. I have never experienced this before so I’m gonna keep you guys updated. Hopefully, I can get out in time. And yeah, man, I really hope people are safe. Crazy. I’m gonna keep you guys updated.”
