My DW is a municipal water plant operator, and I get to hear the challenges of juggling water between six different water towers in a hilly locale to keep the pressures up and supplies full every single day. The combined system can only process/move/store so much water, and having every fire truck in the LA region drawing from hydrants and thousands of homeowners running their garden hoses trying to save their houses is obviously more than the system was ever designed to handle. But, what the heck do I know.

I saw a TV interview on the UK news of a younger guy who lost his house. Because of blackouts, he had to change hotels four times so far since evacuating. His projected timeline is a minimum of three years to just sort through the insurance mess to start the rebuild process, and his family is actively searching for another house to buy instead of watching the horrors on the TV news. I can only imagine what house prices will look like in the aftermath of this disaster, and am wondering if the cities involved will even let the people rebuild at the current property densities?????
