Absolutely tragic. I heard a report where insurers had refused to write fire policies and 70% of the homeowners have no insurance.
Would you knowingly what Insurers knew, cover those risks? Hope not for your sake.
My nieces and nephews are living out there. And I can’t get in touch with them. I’m praying for them and hope they are safe.
I’m so sorry. I hope they’re okay
Well of course not but it doesn't make it any better for those that just lost everything.
Please keep us up to date on this.. Praying for them!
Praying for them. Please keep us updayed
Praying for your family
My understanding is it wasn't an outright refusal, it was that they weren't allowed to raise rates, and then when they couldn't raise rates to compensate for the risk, they declined to write coverage. Happy to be corrected if that's wrong.
My goodness, praying they are safe. That's no joke. And sorry you're having to experience that type of anxiety.
Have some good friends that live there. They and their 1 year old daughter had to evacuate. No idea of condition of their home.
Have a cousin who’s an LA City firefighter/paramedic. I’m sure he’s in for some hardcore days
Prayers for your family, all of the residents and 1st responders.
It's amazing that they literally ran out of water and have no water in the hydrants to even fight the fire.
My buddies house in Pacific Palisades is totally gone.
Hopefully everyone is able to get out of the way of the fire and the value of the damage is going to be extraordinary. Must like the tragedy in NC I am afraid much of the damage will not be insured.
I live here right by the palisades and it is awful. Feel terrible for everyone I know who lost their homes.

Know I guy that's from here (Huge UGA fan) and lives Palisades. Posted on Twitter yesterday a pic of them leaving as smoke cloud is over their house. Today he posted a video of what's left of his neighborhood. Nothing. He texted me that they would rebuild.
Praying for them....a friend of mine is a 911 director and went out to help
What part of town?
I’ve lived in LA for 25 years. Seen some fires. But not like this. Very, very scary. And now Runyon Canyon is burning, Hollywood under evacuation orders.
My family and I are safe, five miles from the first fire in Pacific Palisades. But for how long?
My wife’s boss lives in the Palisades. His house is probably gone but he has no way of knowing. My daughter goes to school across town in Pasadena, and at least two of her classmates lost their homes.
It’s bad. It’s real bad. Pray for us, y’all! I know everyone likes to make fun of LA but it’s a beautiful place with amazing people. And we’re all scared.
I live right by pacific palisades in Santa Monica & we’ve evacuated but pacific palisades is the most beautiful/special area of LA. Was in shock watching it burn yesterday. You expect the houses high up in canyons in palisades to be vulnerable but no one ever thought it would come down to the more densely populated village area. The overgrowth of vegetation from all the rain 2 years ago paired with the dryness & 100 mph winds just created the perfect storm.
Just devastating. Very sorry for your friend.
Much better coverage from local sources https://ktla.com/on-air/live-streaming/
What is the story with 30A in Florida? Do people go uninsured? Does Florida require insurance? I suppose the mortgage holder would require.
It's an awful situation. He posted this as they where evacuating. Hard to believe those videos are from the same neighborhood.
LA is special. Pulling for you all.
10K acre blow torch with 100 mph winds. It's a horrible chain of events.
Was thinking today of the Steely Dan lyrics - “here come those Santa Ana winds again”. They are crazy
