The state insurance commissioner imposes a moratorium on policy dropping. It seems the insurance companies don't like it when the accepted risk bites them instead of making them rich.

This ruling only applies to people that already have fire insurance and is only for one year ... People in the State of California that want to get fire insurance are denied all the time if they live in a fire prone area.

With risks higher than ever, the companies that offer fire insurance are deciding not to renew a larger number of California policies. State statistics show 14,225 policies were not renewed in 2018

Actually, any Californian can get fire insurance, even if they live in a fire prone area; the State has a program called FAIR Plan Insurance and it will write a policy to any qualified state homeowner; the premiums can be more than a little pricey, but, if someone chooses to live in high fire hazard areas, they're gonna have to expect to shoulder some of the financial risk in higher premiums; its just like any other high risk policy, e.g., if you choose to live in an area prone to repeated flooding, your flood insurance premiums are gonna be expensive; you make the choice, you pay the price...


Here is a link to the FAIR Plan FAQ:

Default Severe heat wave causes rolling blackouts, dangerous conditions across California

What forecasters say is shaping up to be the worst heat wave in several years caused rolling blackouts https://www.latimes.com/california/s...utages-warning and is setting up dangerous conditions across California.

The power crisis was caused in part by coronavirus restrictions, which have closed movie theaters, malls and other locations where people would typically gather to beat the heat. Concerns about outbreaks have kept many inside their homes with the air conditioning on.

My boat captain, two doors down, has a new solar Tesla solar-electric system. He sells power back to criminal entity PG&E but his 'new' inverter went out
after less than two years, so he's screwed too. 21st century technology sucks! so I'll hold off blowing $20 K on that contraption.

It feels like you are having a wonderful time. I hope it returns to a more normal state for you in CA.

Here in NW Indiana, we haven't had terribly hot heat. For the past few days it has been in the late 80s and humid, we sweat our pants off at baseball practice and take ice cold baths back home.
Only on Fridays baseball practice was there any improvement. We finally had a light breeze, the temperatures and the humidity stayed the same tho. That slight breeze felt like the world to our team.

NW Indiana is known for having brutally hot summers and terrible winters. We get a mix of everything here.

Nothing but cold and rain with gale force winds down here for the last few weeks!! Atleast summer is on its way.
Sweaty scorching heat and flies, hmm maybe I'll rethink that!

A Red Flag Warning means that weather conditions are occurring or will occur that can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop have potential to spread rapidly. Please remain vigilant and alert
So here I am at 0200 hours... being vigilant and alert!
