Yes, the fire was tragic; yes people lost a lot of personal stuff, perhaps even beloved pets.   That is very sad.  And thank God there was no loss of life.

BUT, I am sure almost all the homes were fully insured for fire losses; a lot of people were trying to sell their homes in a buyers market, so they came off pretty well by getting full replacement value on a home they did not want; a lot of people wanted out of the place and this gave them an excuse (and a pocket full of cash) to leave; and I got tired of the 'lets save the good people of Fort Mac' campaign about 1 hour after it started. . .

And where did all those millions of dollars of relief actually go?
