Hi ginger,
I know the Thomas fire hit the very end of 2017. I was using it as a reference to all the fires we’ve had in the past couple of years.
Most of my neighbors are still fighting with their insurance companies for their right to rebuild, as codes have been upgraded. Sometimes I feel like I will be 100 before things are done. I’m in my late 70s.. most days I have the energy of someone half my age, other days I turn a blind eye to how everything is, as energy level drags.
I’m sure your 82 year old teacher, suffered loses that were never paid by her insurance company.
If you do not have photos or receipts of possessions, you were out of luck. They need proof of everything. I’m at this stage right now, if anybody has suggestions how to handle
Situations like that i am open to good suggestions.
Do you miss our beautiful coast just a little bit?

@funcountess Some friends did indeed have records, some had photos, some had nothing to fall back on. Some took what the insurance company offered and had to be satisfied with that. Many were underinsured. My teacher got out with her clients' records and her two full sized German shepherds stuffed into a small sports car. I can offer no suggestions, so sorry.

Honestly, I do miss the coast a little. I do not miss the crush of people, the pettiness, the selfishness that so many seem to adhere to. Do not miss the high prices.
