please everyone do your best to stay safe.  it sounds like all forces are mobilized and people are doing the best they can, so that's good to hear.

as for million dollar homes, from what little i know of the Cali housing market, i don't think it's hard for a house to be worth a million.  especially if people have hung onto a house for several years.   i'm pretty sure my parents house in NJ will be worth about that much when they're finally done with it (assuming Jersey's coast isn't underwater by then), and they bought it for something like $35k  in the 70s.  different state, but still...

you know, a friend of a friend keeps his hard drive backups in fireproof safe.  that's seeming like a better and better idea as time goes on.
