This natural disaster really has me worked up. Like my parents use to live in LA. I used to go to Santa Monica Pier for the summer. This is just horrible and so horrifying as there is little you can do. It is like something out of a fantasy novel it is so horrid. |

It's familiar to me as my hometown burned 1/3 down. Fire's a bitch. It always seems like they could've done more controlled fire but were dumb. |

I won't speak to California's policies, but it seems like in these situations they end up lamenting not doing more to burn the brush or dead trees ahead of time which after enough time make you basically surrounded by firewood. I'd guess in California especially there is a lot of red tape around anything involving harming the environment. |

So I wrote a reply, but I didn't stay signed and when submitting I lost the reply. Anyway, my point pretty much is that this is mostly an unforeseeable disaster and it's easy to play would/coulda/shoulda after the fact. |

Before the fact, even your own economics caused thousands to be dropped by insurance in the region in recent times exactly because of fire risk, so no, not really. |

Yeah, that's a good point and I have to agree that looking at it from the insurance angle, looks like the governments in charge definitely did not do enough to better estimate the fire risk and prevent a disaster to this extent. |
