    The video coming out of LA is truly Apocalyptic.  The "Big One" of a 9.0 Earthquake wasn't even necessary to destroy Sodom & Gomorrah, the firestorm alone was enough to reduce everything from Palm Springs to Malibu to ashes.

    The Insurance adjusting in the aftermath is going to be interesting.  These are neighborhoods where every house on the block has a pricetag 7 or 8 digits long, many of them packed with artwork worth more than the house.  Wardrobes full of Gucci bags, not to mention jewelry and baseball card and comic book collections.

    Then there are all the biznesses like gyms and hair salons that cater to the rich and chharge huge membership fees and private trainers and coaches wh will lose their clients at least for weeks and permanently in many cases.  Tax revenue will drop like a stone.

    Also worth noting will be the difference between how this gets fixed up versus say the devastated neighborhoods around NOLA after Katrina.  One suspects these people will not be housed in FEMA trailers. lol.
