[quote=Anonymous]Are we talking about a single house fire or one of these wildfires eating anything in its path?

I am not from there, but my ex grew up in San Diego.  Her sister almost lost their house in Miramar a number of years ago.

My aunt and uncle lived in Lake Arrowhead and lost 2 homes.  They were also in Oregon when one of those massive wildfires occurred.  In their community their's was the only house that survived.  There was no magic just the grace of nature burning right to the edge of the foundation and stopping.  Firemen just said it happens.  Fires jump over houses.

What they all have said is to take those documents.  Keep them in your fire box but take them.  You don't need the added stress of replacing all of that.  You will have more important things to worry about.

But they also said cash.  Several thousand at least in 5s, 10s, etc.  ATMs go down, lines at banks etc will be enormous.  Credit card machines stop working and cash becomes king even if they are working.  Save the stress.  You and your family will have more than enough to deal with.[/quote]
