    I can hardly wait for FEMA to get involved with the rebuild. By the time they get set up and force everybody to follow their rules and guidelines there won't be an ounce of dirt moved or one piece of wood in place for a long long time. They will refuse to pay for any rebuilding in a location that they deem too high of a risk for future disaster. I have dealt with those clowns in 2 declared disasters in Alaska and they can screw up everything by sticking to their rules regardless of reality.

    I've already seen where they are telling anyone who might have access back to where their homes once were to not touch/disturb anything because it might be "toxic". Perfect... :(

    Well, back to the OP.

    My son and his wife were subject to the Santa Monica evacuation order. They live in northern Santa Monica, north of San Vicente, near the ocean. Unlike the thousands of unlucky people just north, who lost their homes and belongings, their place is so far unaffected by the fire but it is close to it with another big Santa Ana wind event coming tonight.

    That's kind of a broad statement.

    Kaliphornia causes cancer in lab rats

    That's better. (Is it wrong that I'm running some numbers to see if I can go to an event at Willow?)

    I don’t complain about the land mass.

    I complain about the ceaseless stupidity that emanates from the wrong coast and infects the other feeble minded dipshits scattered about the country.

    That is true. Smoke from all fires up in North CA comes to NV.

    Just remember when computing fuel costs, when you hit the border, those costs double.

    It's not that bad, but it does jump. The first time I went out there, Critter told me to stop at the Havasu exit and fill up before crossing the "border" Let that get me as far as possible to cut down on fill up in CA.

    If it helps your calculations, last week I drove from S Cal to N Cal and paid between 3.89 - 4.59 for diesel. If you are coming across I-10 the 1-2 exits before California are usually cheaper on fuel.

    I would go I40, so Havasu would be my spot.

    Thats a little cheaper than down here. I am averaging $4.59 (last night)-$5.10 for diesel here. Getting harder and harder to find #2 and not that renewable shit they started to push everywhere.

    Having been the guy who goes in and tests materials for lead, asbestos, etc
    Yeah, there's lots of potentially toxic substances in a burnt up house
    I imagine even moreso in California, due to their laws

    And, really, if your house has burnt down, why would you want to wander around in it ?
