@nbcnews: Many small-business owners across greater Los Angeles are just beginning to reckon with the devastating wildfires that have raged across the region, turning decades of history and years of entrepreneurial effort to ashes within hours. Aether owner Kristina Adam said she’d built the wellness studio's customer base from scratch into the hundreds. Like Fox’s Restaurant's owners, Adam witnessed all that work reduced to cinders from miles away on her phone screen, via texted video footage. “I don’t know if anybody’s thinking about what comes from here on out, because the Palisades are pretty much wiped out,” Adam said. 📷 Wray Sinclair and Paul Yem
