A lot of people just plain took off and said, "there is nothing left to come back for" Over 8,000 homes burned to the ground X two each = 16,000 persons with only 1,600 living in shelters and a thousand or more living at a local Walmart (who has said be out by today or else), but 90% of the people living at the walmart in tents are transit people cashing in on the free food and clothes. Strange, uh? Now we have to deal with the thousands massing on the US border too

Authorities are working from a list of people whose loved ones have called in "welfare checks" or reported them missing, Butte County Sheriff's Investigations Sgt. Steve Collins said. After a call, officers go out to see if the home or other structure is still standing, or if the caller has heard from the missing person since.
The process is made more difficult, Butte County Sheriff and Coroner Kory Honea said, by communications difficulties.
"There are a lot of people displaced (who) don't know we are looking for them," Honea said.
