For Pete’s sake. This was just like the flooding from the hurricanes in Florida. It was a perfect storm: in the case of Florida, a hurricane following a nor’easter in conjunction with seasonal and astronomical high tides. In the case of CA, lots of dry grass and brush, ionically as the result of a very rainy early summer, and a fire starting during the northern CA equivalent of the Santa Ana, with winds of 60 or 70 mph. In other words, phenomenally bad luck. It’s nobody’s fault.

I wish Trump would come out and at least tweet support. FEMA resources are there, but he needs to do something personal.

Because California, as a state, has been so good to him, so willing to get in step with his agenda.

Unlike the hurricanes, these fires are covered by insurance companies. Insurance companies will be on the hook for $2 to $5 billion dollars. But fire insurance only covers structures, not the charcoal covered land. So the payouts won’t cover the full cost of people’s loss, unless they are willing to rebuild on the same property. I expect some will walk away from their remaining mortages.

Vice President Pence toured California’s burn areas on the 12th.

There are some very small-minded bitter Freepers who delight in trials and tribulations for anyone living in certain blue state localities...I have seen them on thread I posted last wee and see some of the same posters here.

Yes, it is just like the flooding...just as bad...maybe worse depending on who is going through it.

I agree that President Trump should put some emphasis on the fires, come out when it is not a drain on resources, etc. as the Californians on Twitter as wondering where he is..

And for haters, many of the residents of Sonoma and Napa voted for Trump..and are relatives and friends of Freepers—not that it should matter in a time like this.

Did you happen to see This Editorial from the SF Chronicle yesterday, I think?

Note the bitter tone of the piece, and have a look at the ugly, vicious, poisonous anti-Trump comments below.

Secede already, is what I say.
