I thought I would like to explain that even though I have a personal interest in this because of my kids. My family is extremely lucky. My son is retired Coast Guard and has a job with the company that supplies some of the helicopters for the fires. They have had few losses--a fridge and a freezer because of spoiled food. They have very good insurance and will be covered for their losses and the cost of their evacuation.
My concern has been for all the ones that do not have the resources to rebuild their lives.
