14k deductible ouch

 

Yep.  Windstorm insurance is very expensive here and the deductible is generally a percentage of the home value.   In my case it was a 3% deductible, so 3% of 470k or something like that.  

2% is probably the norm, but then you pay more of course.  Especially in the FL Keys.

California Police Arrest Arsonist For Using Gas Blowtorch Instead Of Electric Blowtorch

 

LOS ANGELES, CA — As the devastation spread and the death toll continued to rise with firefighters working tirelessly to contain the blazes, a suspected arsonist was arrested for allegedly attempting to use a gas blowtorch instead of an electric blowtorch to start another California wildfire.

Authorities said Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva was apprehended trying to start a wildfire while in possession of a gas-powered blowtorch in a clear violation of California law, which stipulates that all catastrophic wildfires be started with only energy-efficient electric blowtorches.

"We only allow environmentally friendly arson in this state," said Sgt. Pete Rodriguez of the Los Angeles Police Department.  [...]

In my family we are right wing nut jobs.  We have guns.  We stand by the motto "you loot, we shoot".

 

 

Surprisingly my Russian wife is more right wing and nutty than me.  And she is really good with guns too.  It was required of them in school back in the cold war days.

Stunner:  California Saved a Shrub Instead of Protecting Humans From the L.A. Firestorm

 

They really do hate humans, don't they?  Just when you thought things couldn't get any dumber than dry fire hydrants, unusable reservoirs, and taking out dams, now comes word that Pacific Palisades went up in smoke in the name of preserving a shrub.

Environmentalists really do hate humans, don't they?  If you said yes, you've been paying attention to the anti-human, zero population growth people who [...]

Efforts Underway in California to Recall Newsom and Bass – Have Residents Finally Had Enough?

 

The entire nation has watched as wildfires in California have destroyed homes and property and taken lives.  At this point, no amount of spin from either Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass or Gov. Gavin Newsom will hide the fact that there has been near criminal gross mismanagement of the Golden State for years.  But in one of the bluest states in the nation, could it be that people, including many Democrats, have had enough? Gavin Newsom has survived a recall election before.  But in light of the raging wildfires that could have been prevented, could he survive another? We might find out.  [...]

Firefighters Hang Crying Jimmy Kimmel From Helicopter To Drop Tears On Wildfire

 

LOS ANGELES — The devastating Palisades Fire may finally be on the way out thanks to the quick thinking of firefighters who attached late night host Jimmy Kimmel to a helicopter so he could quench the flames with his salty tears.

"Trump complained about the fire department's DEI programs," cried Kimmel.  "And all the firefighters who came in from Idaho are white.  White!  THEY'RE WHITE!"

Authorities say Kimmel's tears are the most effective flame suppressant they've ever seen.  "I wish we'd thought of this sooner," said one firefighter.  [...]

Newsom already survived a recall attempt, and he will most likely survive this one with help from the San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Diego leftists that are not impacted by the fires directly.  As to Bass, that is a bigger question given her more recent election.  Both should be gone for their parts in not doing more to prepare and mitigate conditions for when a fire would inevitably happen.  The insurance companies saw it coming and pulled out.  I heard a story about someone scuba diving with sharks (black tipped IIRC), the guide told them black tipped sharks were safe, but if they suddenly left the area, the divers needed to come back to the boat ASAP.  Makes sense, if the insurance companies are refusing policies in a certain area, maybe it means government needs to do more for mitigation.
