Police evacuated homes next door and across the street and others on the street.

One family slept in their car before leaving to go to a relative’s home.

They first left around 11 p.m. Tuesday to pick up a family member from work, came back and couldn’t get back to their home because police were blocking the road.

“It’s been kind of hard. I just came back from work. I’m worried and left everything on at home, so (I’m) stressed out about it and it’s very tiring,” neighbor Genesis Alvarez said.
