Then when the firetrucks came, they were unable to get around the abandoned cars and had to call in bulldozers to push the cars out of the way. So not only did people lose their homes, but their vehicles too. Tragedy on top of tragedy.

Only one way in and out. The view is fantastic but this is the price for it. Now the hydrants are dry.

The insurance industry crisis in CA has been a dumpster fire for several years and most companies pulled out of Palisades. Those that remain set $3M limits.

Thus the vast majority of these homes are not insured.

Like that in Florida, too. We've had a chunk of natural disasters...earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes. We're at the mercy of mother nature.

They are starting a horse evacuation at SA due to the air quality.

Probably Gulfstream. Fair Grounds has a possible freeze warning tonight, but no indication of that on Saturday. I am guessing that Oaklawn might close. Snow predicted for Thursday and Friday and temps at night will be in the 20s so seems likely track may be frozen on Saturday.

I think you're right, Cal. Let's do races 1-10.

Btw, my anti-virus won't let me access this site. It says the the Derbt Trails site security certificate expired 24 days ago.

SA is dark today.....tomorrow?

AND the Vikes-Rams Monday playoff game has been moved from SoFi to.....
wait for it.....State Farm Stadium in Phoenix.

State Farm refused to renew a couple thousand in the vicinity.

At the mercy of nature...? And much more.
