It happens all the time. It's not like they did it over the past few days. It was done over the past few years because they would of graded the area as high risk and made in an extra opt in premium, and many wouldn't of noticed or middle income couldn't afford it.

Same thing happens in Australia and people don't notice it was removed until a disaster hits and flood or fire protection is needed.
Insurance companies are scum, always looking for a way to get out of paying

Not quite the case here.

California has a law where any insurance premium increase needs to be approved, and as a result a number of insurance companies have either dropped their customers or left the state entirely. In March 2024 State Farm cancelled the policies of 72,000 customers in California, including ~70% of their customers in the Palisades area.

Could that not just be a sketchy way to drop them and have them reapply at a higher rate and tack on the premium.

Insurance will find a way to get out of everything they can. I saw it's already projected to be $20bn. And California put in a 12 month moratorium but that won't do much now.

One of the water bombers was grounded and awaiting inspection because some campaigner flew his personal drone into its path. There looks to be no damage but regulations and stuff they can't use it.

The lack of awareness and people leaving too late I have found shocking. Like people in homes as the fire has surrounded the house is crazy. Doesn't help the warning system isn't that good but some people needed to think and not wait till the last second.

I live in an area with thick bush around my property and if it ever went up there is no chance to save anything, so I have a uneasy feeling of some of the eerie summer days with the winds and skies

Save us from Mahomes and Jake from State farm

Our picks are interesting

Two games with heavy favourite (Bal, Buff) - picks reflect that

One with moderate favourite (Philly) - same 80% prediction

Three narrow games - Chargers an even bigger BF favourite, on the road. The other two are close.

Sounds more like California caps insurance premiums entirely, and so rather than gaining customers that it doesn't make financial sense to insure the insurance companies just refuse.

There is a state-run insurance plan that is apparently very expensive, but even that was projected to go insolvent at some point before this fire happened.

The fact that the state-run fallback plan saw an 85% increase between 2023 and 2024 would suggest that those that lost their previous insurance with companies like State Farm probably didn't have a choice

I'd guess if a fire suddenly tore through the middle suburbs of Melbourne or Sydney that you'd see something similar. Those people that live in the foothills of the mountains (be that the Dandenongs or the Blue Mountains) obviously would be far more aware, but it seems like the Palisades are probably more akin to Caufield than Kinglake

I seem to remember having similar issues here following major disasters, especially fires.

People pay all this money in insurance premiums, the insurance companies rake in these massive profits... and then when the disaster happens they're ****ing useless, and victims of the disaster rely on help from government and from charity. Especially for immediate help. People relying on insurance companies end up waiting years for homes to be rebuilt. The whole thing is a scam, I don't know how we let them get away with it.

It is not the same thing.

11 of the 20 biggest insurance companies don't even offer any insurance because of this California law. If you care to find out more about the situation, this thread seems to be fairly informative and has been quoted by other usually well informed people

(and if you're the sort of person to write off someone's opinion criticising an elected official or a policy purely because of their political ideology, then she seems to be someone who is left of centre but is criticising what is almost certainly a Democratic policy and an elected Democrat official)

Remember when this thread used to be about football?

Ayway, here is a clip from Scottish rockers Nazareth, who in 1976 predicted the two QBS who would be playing in Philadelphia this weekend.

The Texans went 1-5 vs other playoff teams this year.

The Chargers went 2-5 vs other playoff teams this year.

At the age of 35, Cameron Heyward is the oldest defensive tackle to be selected to an All-Pro team in the Super Bowl era. The last time a defensive tackle 35 or older made an All-Pro team was Gino Marchetti on the Baltimore Colts in 1964, who earned that honor at the age of 37.
