[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Makes you wonder if it is an act of terrorism.  You don't need a dirty bomb or something huge to cause massive destruction. Something as small as purposefully throwing a cigarette onto dry brush can in CA can now cause mass destruction and massive financial pain for the whole country. [/quote]

Especially if your government has completely abdicated on any fuel reduction activities.  [/quote]

California already has more hybrid and EV’s than any state in the country. [/quote]

Psst: they are still denying climate change.  All they care about are a few weeds in an area they've said is way overcrowded.  They think there are no other factors than the brush they imagine is choking the whole landscape there.  The winds are not an issue.  The climate is not an issue.  [/quote]

Are you denying climate change if you rebuild in a high risk fire zone?[/quote]
What should be done about the vast numbers of structures on the New Madrid fault, none of which are built to withstand even a mild earthquake? What should be done about Texas and its failed power grid. At least 365 people died directly from heat in Texas last year, so what about that? Your line of thinking leads to the conclusion that no one can live anywhere. [/quote]

Yeah, that’s the thing I don’t get about posters like the PP. Do we empty the entire Midwest because of New Madrid, for which the Midwest is horrifyingly unprepared? [/quote]

It won't be just the midwest. Because of the geology of the plates east of the Mississippi, the shocks are going to felt a very long way away. Geologists ignored the New Madrid fault for a long time and only recently understood the size of the earthquake that happened there. Most of the land affected by the huge earthquake in the early 1800s was sparseley inhabited mostly by native Americans. No one believed their stories until recently.  You can still see sandblows in fields outside of St. Louis.  It's only recently being studied. In the past it was assumed it wasn't a fault that would cause more earthquakes.
