Description: TOTAL DESTRUCTION of 456 homes by last week's fires may cost insurance companies well in excess of $25 million when all claims are settled. Yet as calamities go, the loss will be less than from one hurricane--and only a fraction of California's auto accident bill last year. The view above is of Chalon Rd.
