In California, insurers are busy cancelling homeowner policies.    It’s common. 
  My uncle in the Oakland hills had to quick find another insurer.  

This is a bad time to entertain the temper tantrums of no information voters.

I fear it will get worse now every year. More and bigger wildfires in 
California. Higher temperatures and less rain.

 

If Kamala would have elected there would have been wildfires as well but at 
least some hope that steps will be taken to protect the climate. Under a new 
Trump administration I see no hope.

 

L.A. is burning from all sides now. The famous Hollywood sign is surrounded by 
fires.

The wildfires will probably come to Santa Fe too in the next years. Like the 
ones in NM last year, only worse.

A good friend who grew up in Pacific Palisades recently moved his 
elderly parents to an assisted living.

As it unfolds, they are on the very edge of the acutely threatened zone, 
holding on for evacuation orders (at least the facility will 
"facilitate" that as it would not have been reasonable at all in their 
90s to self-evacuate if they were still in the family home.   The family 
home, built in the 60s was purchased by a private developer (after much 
negotiation) to surely be razed and replaced by a mcMansion.  The move 
was 6 months ago and the home sale closed the day before our elections 
(by design).

My friend is in HI right now (visiting Kilauea and Waipio) but his 
brother lives in the LA area, able to attend to the parents anxiety more 
directly.  The family home has not been engulfed yet, but if/when it 
does, it may actually increase the value of the property to new owner 
(the anticipated razing being done on insurance/FEMA's nickle?)....  but 
he just watched the high school he attended (70s) burn to the ground on TV.

<snark> I think Donald Trump is about to announce that this is the price 
of LA and CA being a "Liberal Hellhole" and that if they would just 
"rake their forests" these things wouldn't happen.  Part of the 
Liberal/Chinese hoax about Climate Change and extreme weather?    If 
Kamala had been elected the fires would be much worse!  At least it 
wasn't triggered by a Cybertruck loaded with fireworks, (legal) 
firearms, and other accelerants blown up by a MAGA supporter.  If we 
owned Greenland and Canada we could pipe their water (or even 
snowpack/glaciers) down to dump on the fires...  maybe the Boring 
Company is already tunneling under middle America to facilitate 
this?</snark>

SimTable is probably looped in with the myriad evacuation/fire-fighting 
activities?   I'm betting there may be a Pixelated Pile O' Sand on Lena 
street in the shape of the LA hills and valleys?
