The Guardian ^ | Friday 15 September 2017 | Andrew Gumbel in Long Beach, California

Hal Kempfer, a noted international security expert, is getting a roomful of California public health officials and emergency responders to think about the unthinkable – a nuclear bomb exploding at the port of Long Beach, about four miles away...News out of North Korea has created a mini-bonanza for local manufacturers of nuclear fallout shelters. But more important to the vast bulk of the population, Kempfer says, is having some rudimentary knowledge of what it means to “shelter in place"...Sandy Wedgeworth, the public health emergency management coordinator, said she and her staff felt energized, not depressed, by what they learned from Kempfer...

CA didn’t secede from the US yet over Trump’s election??

Given that they make their own global warming deals with the EU as if they are a country they can solve this themselves.

Why doesn’t Jerry Brown just give NK part of CA?

By “energized”, she means that they are preparing to be emitting gamma rays.

You survive by getting off the liberal bandwagon.

Maybe she made an honest mistake when she said he feels, “Energized” and meant to say, “Vaporized”.

Kim ungy ungy fat one wants to an EMP attack and knock out our grid... Think of all the recent hurricane damage but with no outside ‘help’ coming to the rescue. Some estimates are the 90% of Americans will die the first year if that happens.

Am I going to hell because I grinned when I read that headline?

I know it is serious and real lives are at risk but what state has done the most to ruin our Judeo-Christian nation.

Wedgeworth might be encouraged by the fact that government contractors and state and local governments on the west coast have been the main purchasers of fallout shelters according to at least one of the fallout shelter manufacturers.

That way, government employees and contractor employees can emerge after a nuke exchange as the main arbiters of nature and the environment...that is, to disallow anyone else from owning homes or participating in business. It would be their perfect world with a smaller population.

All of the western states might then be called New Prussia.

Heh, that was my first response.

Ironic that most of the people there are those who have long been making apologies and excuses for the NORKs.

In this manner, the problem of these brainwashed unAmericans may become "self-correcting".

Nothing is really done to stop NK from nuking us. Forget China, they are with NK 100%. Until we start shooting down their missiles nothing will stop NK. Get ready, folks.

Absolutely not.

But hey, got any advice on how to handle getting into Quincy for the 10th Eddie Winter holotape, for Nick Valentine' s quest? Quincy is a real bear on Survival mode. Baker's on the top of that church with a Fat Man and mini-nukes, and he's kicking my butt.

The irradiated dust is good for the sinuses. All democrats, liberals, humanities students, public school teachers should breathe deep, alternating nostrils...

What is sweet is that all the intelligent have already gone back to the real United States.
