The family <br>home, built in the 60s was purchased by a private developer (after much <br>negotiation) to surely be razed and replaced by a mcMansion. The move <br>was 6 months ago and the home sale closed the day before our elections <br>(by design).<br><br>My friend is in HI right now (visiting Kilauea and Waipio) but his <br>brother lives in the LA area, able to attend to the parents anxiety more <br>directly. The family home has not been engulfed yet, but if/when it <br>does, it may actually increase the value of the property to new owner <br>(the anticipated razing being done on insurance/FEMA's nickle?).... but <br>he just watched the high school he attended (70s) burn to the ground on TV.<br><br><snark> I think Donald Trump is about to announce that this is the price <br>of LA and CA being a "Liberal Hellhole" and that if they would just <br>"rake their forests" these things wouldn't happen. Part of the <br>Liberal/Chinese hoax about Climate Change and extreme weather? If <br>Kamala had been elected the fires would be much worse! At least it <br>wasn't triggered by a Cybertruck loaded with fireworks, (legal) <br>firearms, and other accelerants blown up by a MAGA supporter. If we <br>owned Greenland and Canada we could pipe their water (or even <br>snowpack/glaciers) down to dump on the fires... maybe the Boring <br>Company is already tunneling under middle America to facilitate <br>this?</snark><br><br>SimTable is probably looped in with the myriad evacuation/fire-fighting <br>activities?
