That’s why the first thing you grab are your guns before they burn up. When the Northridge quake happened in 94, I grabbed my rifle and pistol first after the shaking stopped. The house was wrecked. Never had any problems though. Our neighborhood pulled together. Now I worry about fires up here in the mountains.
That fire moved so fast a lot of folks didn’t have the chance to go back into their homes .. for anything. They had to run to the shore and jump in the water.
“That’s why the first thing you grab are your guns before they burn up.”
We were purposely given NO WARNING, NO EVACUATION from the Alameda urban wildfire. The county decided we were all senior CITIZENS and would get confused, so they let us sit there until the flames were on us. I had the choice of grabbing the cat or emptying the gun safe. I left my lifelong collection if unregistered guns in a safe to burn except for one. That night I spent in a parking lot 50 miles away. About midnight I was surrounded by
4 big black clad masked goons on motorcycles. One was slapping the hood of my car. I suppose the Trump bumper stickers attracted them. I slapped that pistol on the dashboard and screamed, “C’mon!”
Don’t underestimate some old woman who just lost everything!
The cowards left.
Another struggle was all the scammers who thought we all had insurance money and they wanted it. Lol ,it took months before I got insurance money and that was another sick joke.
