Don’t know, depends on their coverage, but it’s rarely market rate. Some of those people been in their homes or had homes on their family for 30+ years, even if they had a mortgage balance or HELOC, it’s likely way less than the cost of building. I’d also wonder if their home gets reassessed, which would jack up the taxes on it (prop 13 ties taxes to the price paid, they don’t increase with the value of the home) and could make the home unaffordable to long time owners
Yep, you see it.

That's what I said earlier. Ppl who's houses were old ans paid for only had prop tax and maybe a cash out re-fi or heloc for renovations. But that balance is far less than what a mortgage in today's rate would be.

If any of them left, sold high and moved to another state in the previous weeks, they are probably thanking God for sure right now

Yea, that's why it's called the Second City (outside of being second in population to NYC for the longest).

They literally had to rebuild most of the city.

Oddly enough, at the same time during the Great Chicago Fire, a more deadly fire was happening here in Wisconsin in Peshtigo.

Peshtigo at the time was a Lumber Heavy industry town, and about 1.5 to 2k people died from the Firestorm.

However since Chicago was burning at the same time, Peshtigo was in a remote location and no one heard about it.

It was thought that since Chicago and Pestigo were both on fire that perhaps they were connected a asteroid entering Earth and breaking off.

Thanks. From what they’re saying on Reddit, yeah the winds are coming, but the fighters are doing a good job cutting off the fires path and setting perimeters. Guess that’s good, but the winds could make them jump. Shyt has to feel defeating. Wishing them the best.

Well the problem I said earlier in the thread, is that with the Wind, this situation becomes one big giant flamer thrower.

People don't understand that when it gets windy, the air stays hot with embers... so all that hot, ignitable air is being pushed out where the wind is telling it to go.

You can clear as much as you can, but in the end that hot air is supported by the wind and it will jump over the perimeter... its just up to the emergency team to guess how that wind is going to push, and hope its the right direction.

Honestly we just don’t know. If anything there could be an even bigger exodus from La. Who knows.

saw Erin Burnett say on CNN that earlier today she saw people who looked like "they didn't belong in the area"


:mjpls:



then they interviewed some cac staying at his house to "stop the looters" aka wants a pass to shoot someone he doesn't recognize. if you were worried about your valuables getting stolen really, you would load them up in the car and go be with your family.
