'A miracle.' James Woods posts on X that his house survived Los Angeles wildfires

Yeah, and I mean, the planes were going over and it was like, and it was *** clear blue sky, I mean. You know what I was thinking? I'll tell you what I was thinking. I'm from Rhode Island, and *** friend of mine was the guy who did all the remediation for the, you remember the station fire where 100 people burned to death in in *** in *** nightclub fire. And this is true. There were people in the doorway who had tried to get out, and there were people who were literally 2 ft in the pile of bodies who got out and survived by being debris and the other people next to them died. And all I remember thinking is, man. When I was *** kid, we went our house burned down. I was 6 years old. It goes up in Seconds, not hours, not, yeah, you know, let's go like, you know, let's uh let's get that picture that the uncle Tina, you know, Aunt Tina sent us of the, the kid, get out of the house, get in the car, get out of the way, and let them do their job. Your house will go up like *** matchbook. And luckily we were. Yeah, I was just gonna say, know your neighbors, have *** plan. I, I mean, thank God our neighbors Havisa, Robert, you know, uh, Stephanie across the street, uh, you know, Francis next door, uh, we all our neighbors are all checking with each other. Are you out? Are you safe? Are your pets out, you know, everybody was taking care of everybody. We're on the roof of our house. Uh, before the fire, well, you know, we thought it wasn't gonna be this bigger fire, you know, you always wanted to buyers. There was *** fellow up the street's working on the house, um, and I said, hey man, would you, you know, would you, would you come on our roof and help us? I'll pay you. You have to pay me, man. He was one of the workers and he did it, and I insisted, you know, take something and, and no, no, it's just want to help, man, you know, it's just people, people helping people, but, you know. I mean, or, or *** beautiful little house, you know, it's like we've been in *** hotel all through COVID, this lovely hotel, people are so great, take care of us yesterday, and we were fixing our house and we finally had it done, and we were swimming every day, and my blood pressure was going down and, you know, and if you ever saw the views from that house before this fire, they were just, you know, it was it was I I posted it today on on exit. it was paradise and our neighbors are, you know, we knew them all and You know, now it's all. All I can think Well, let me tell you, I'm standing in the driveway and all of *** sudden I said this so the planes are going over, they dropped their retardant, but they're like, you know, you know what it's like those planes aren't, you know, you know, 2000 ft, they're like 40 ft over your house, you know, and, and. I was looking down, the fire was the black and you can see the flames, the house is on fire, the house is on fire, and then over by the hillside where Robert had showed me, but the first, he said, look at my house, look at this fire. As soon as I saw that fire, I said, with this wind, we're we're out of here. We've got to get out of here and make sure everybody's safe, and uh. I was looking and I said, that smoke is white, this smoke is black, it's moving this way. We've got to go that way, because white smoke means that they got the fire out, at least. You know, the major part of it, and we'll be out of the way of the congestion. And as soon as we got down the hill, we finally got into the sunset con congestion. It's 9 miles to Beverly Hills. It takes us usually about about 25 minutes. It took 2.5 hours, and you have to understand, somebody didn't charge their car, you know. Their electric car didn't put gas in their gasoline car, and now they're on sunset. Oh, I gotta abandon my car, and now the fire trucks can't get through, and now people can't walk. When we couldn't get our garage door open because the wind was blocking what because our door goes up like this, I said, oh my God, we're up in the hills here, and we gotta walk out. I can't walk. I'm 77 years old, man. I can't walk up these hills. It's like Mount Everest here. It's like, you know, pretty steep, so. You know, it's just you I, I posted this on X, but, but Sarah was on with her eight year old niece last night. She came out, I'm sorry, just, you know, one day you're swimming the pool and the next day it's all gone, but yeah, she came out with her little yeti piggy bank. For us to rebuild our house. I'm sorry, I'm usually. I mean, I, I thought, I thought, I thought I would be stronger than this. I thought I'd be stronger than this, but, you know. Uh, they're great, they're great. Oh he's OK, cause he, he's OK. They, they found him, he's in the hospital, he's great. I just worry if anybody knows where Robert Trink teller is, you know, call me, let me know. All right, thank you so much.
