Good morning.

(Here’s the sign-up, if you don’t already get California Today by email.)

A little while ago, we asked about whether wildfires were affecting your ability to get or keep homeowners insurance. The answer was, in a word, yes.

Dozens of readers from southern Orange County to Lake Tahoe and beyond responded with stories about unrenewed policies and big rate increases.

Katy Hover-Smoot, who said she lives in Squaw Valley, said in an email that her homeowners insurance rate recently jumped to $6,200 per year from $900 per year.

She added that in spite of dropped policies and rate increases, development in the resort area is set to continue.
