Don't typically post stuff like this, but some people have obviously lost a lot in Big Sur.

Unfortunately I think it'll be much closer to 35 number than than 15. Pretty populated on that side of the freeway thru there IIRC. Tankers couldn't even fly today and they don't think they'll have a handle on it until Friday.

*Yet most likely Sims Metal will simply play the deniability clause and get away almost Scott-Free. 2 times this year.

IMHO Places like this need to be shut down. God Forbid nobody has a place to redeem stolen metals and materials.
