Fire warnings - Be careful everyone!!!

Hey everyone in So-Cal, please be careful.  I just heard that there was a mandatory evactuation of 250k people. 

Well, we are in the midst of a drought. Have been for about a year now I think. So yeah, rather dry. But that's how California is. We have three seasons. Hot, Cold, and Fire. 

im from that region and have people i know that had to move. very crazy!

My wife's family is from that area.  Her sister lives up on a hillside and can see Qualcomm Stadium from her neighborhood.

What city are you all from?  I'm from Fallbrook/Oceanside and I heard that the whole city of  Fallbrook was evac'd.  Kinda sucks to have this happen to your state and city when your way over here in Japan. 

California is a geological and natural disaster... no mystery.  The state's economic and political standards are so out of whack it's pathetic.  Everyone should just mass exodus out of that armpit and blow it into the ocean and let it become an underwater reef.

Doesn't negate the fact that state is going to drop off the map.  Don't take it personally, it's just a geological fact that California is going to drop off into the ocean eventually.  Who doesn't like the look of the state and the diversity of it?  But, it's hard to make a good living with the high price of living and the taxes over there. 

Lots of people selling and moving East because of the issues out there.  DS ought to setup shop in the central US.  Cost of ops would be cheaper.  My company left California years ago because of the out of whack economy and cost of operations.  We setup our 88,000 sq ft facility in Texas and have been better off for it ever since.  I might buy some land in California so I can sell it and make a killing.  That's about what it's worth to me. Seattle is a place where you can make a living and actually put something in the bank for retirement.  No state tax and the land and housing market is sound.  Although, that's not a place that I would live either.  Too far north and I don't care for the winters.

The Earth is a disaster! When are we humans finally going to get out of the back woods of this galaxy and step up to the plate! Taxes? Shadow governments? Economic and political standards? Screw that! Let's go to Mars.  

Of course it's going to drop off.  The San Andreas will offer its final great belch and half that state is a few hundred miles thinner.  After that happens, we'll have a new West coast front further inland and no more fires in Aquafornia.  It's a shame one of the most beautiful states in the US is riddled with such geological issues. 

I say we all go over and completely over throw the middle east and build our new United States there.  Plentiful oil to continue polluting our earth and then our government can focus on occupying China and North Korea without distractions.  Of course, we'll need to have a plan to occupy Russia eventually.

Just tongue & cheekin here.

  

Does comprehensive cover IED's?

rofl, CA has high taxes?  Try living in Minnesota, we get Quad taxed here.  This place is right on the bubble to also be the worst place to start a buisness.  I live in a suburb area, they just build apartments up the road here.  The unites that are right next to the railroad tracks cost $1300 a month.  the unites that are away from the tracks cost about 1500 a month.
