Cars, houses, businesses and damage repair are obvious costs but what about insurance companies raising rates and/or leaving various lines of insurance? Then there are the rains that will reduce the fires to something manageable while setting off the mudslide season for more damaging of buildings, inventories, vehicles and killing people. My best guess is that 0.2-0.25 trillion in state GDP will be lost and make next year's fire season worse. The reason for worse is reduced tax base.
