The devastating wildfires in Southern California have caused at least $1 billion in damage in San Diego County alone, officials said Wednesday, while firefighters hoped easing wind would give them an advantage in stopping the flames.
The fires, now in their fourth day, have destroyed 1,500 homes and caused at least a half-million people to flee -- the largest evacuation in state history. At least 1,200 of the damaged homes were in San Diego County.

Great. Once our great-great-grandkids are done paying for bush's war-mongering, our great-great-great-grandkids can pay for celebs to rebuild their mansions in fire-prone areas.
I wonder how many people of color will get s**t from their insurance companies re: their losses?
It all depends on the Santa Anna winds. If they die down today and stay down, it might stay under two Billion.
Lovely. At least we're being 'protected' from the boogey man in Iraq for $12 billion a month.
