15 horses were taken to Ernie Howlett Park evacuation center

Doug Morino dropped by Ernie Howlett Park, where 15 horses were taken.

Callie Bell, a trainer Portuguese Bend Riding Club, brought 10 of them.

"I'm still waiting to hear when it's safe to go back," she said.

"Some people chose to keep their horses there, but I thought it's better to be safe than sorry," she said. "In the end, it's just a trailer ride." (Norman, right, was one of the horses at the park awaiting his owner this morning.)

Bell describes the scene on Palos Verdes Drive South.

"It was like tailgate atmosphere," she said. "People were sitting in the back of their trucks with their cameras out parked on both sides of the road."

Some people were sitting in chairs on the side of the road.

(My comment: Sounds like the scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where people are waiting for the spaceships to come along.)

Norman looks like a good guy.

And I hear he's hung like a horse....
