So true; many of the very old if they rented had no insurance.
My friend literally has had a light go out of her eyes. As to putting lives back together, where do you start? She says she will rebuild (as do most of my other friends who have lost homes; but practically how long does that take?). Plus Paradise (and Magalia and Concow) will never be close to the same again.
Quoting: Madame Royston I don't see any way for Paradise to recover. I don't the extent of destruction in Magalia or Concow which are much smaller, right? Probably none can recover. Imagine being someone whose home survived the fire. Then what? No town. No grocery stores, no garbage service, hospital, no doctors, no dentists, no veterinarians, no drug stores, no auto mechanics, just nothing that is part of a normal community. Life will only be fit for hermits. Why even bother getting utilities back on in such a condition? It would take many, many years to rebuild and then fire can come again. Sadly, I think you have the right of it. It’s pretty far down the hill to Chico for services/civilization. And how depressing to have so much destruction all around you. When I think of what I saw in Malibu and Laguna canyons, after the 1993 fires (I went and sandbagged after), I'm astounded how people rebuild. There is no way in hell I would not learn that lesson the first time. I would feel safe in a place like Palm Springs, where you're getting into just plain sand but who wants to live there? It's the beautiful places that are the most dangerous. Looks like that gorgeous Malibu Lake area that I mentioned earlier got hit by the Woolsey fire: [ link to www.sfgate.com (secure)] Yep, the prettier the area, the more natural disasters seem to abound. Gosh, that Malibu Lake was a beautiful place!
