As you can see, hail and wind damage isn't just a rare occurence. Besides, wild fires aren't restricted to CA. My sister almost lost her house in '06 when wild fires raced across Oklahoma:

"Grass fires started by as little as a spark from a car or downed power lines have burned more than 600,000 acres across a drought-stricken stretch of Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico in the past week and a half. The fires have destroyed at least 470 homes and killed five people."


But, the blame-the-victim-first-crowd just can't help themselves and just have to piss on a thread asking for empathy.


Have a nice and safe life.
