Can't wait to hear about all the massive amounts of foreign aid that will come pouring in due to this natural disaster in the US...
waiting...
still waiting...
*crickets chirping*
That's what I don't get. Been there, and passed by there many, many times. It's an attractive little place. But not even living in CA for over 12 years now, even I wouldn't buy there if given the chance!
I agree with you. They should turn in into a great little campground.
Ugh, just heard on FOX they confirmed a second person dead from the slide. 24 still missing. Not good.
It's normal. If 4 hurricanes hit Florida every year for the next 10 years, then THAT would be abnormal.
What was genuinely abnormal was the very low number of hurricanes hitting Florida in the previous 40 years.
If there are 5 M 9.0 quakes and giant tsunamis in 2005, THAT would be abnormal. Having an M 9.0 quake and a big tsunami that kills a lot of people is perfectly normal every few decades.
well will see how the rest of the year goes and how the weather works on the world...
There used to be a banana farm on the west end of town. They had all kinds of exotic varieties there - our kids loved trying them. Someone else made the point about how much aid we will get from the Indonesians or Sri Lankans for this disaster - my sentiments exactly. None. They won't even think of us. Same story with the huricanes in Florida. Uncle Sucker ought to let the moslems cough up like the Koran says and they can help their own. Not our job. We will get not thanks and no consideration for our altruism.
They did this months ago and you're blaming the curent storm on that?
Yes this is normal. Not regular... but normal.
Huh? This is a "repeat". This very area is a slide area. The hillside does this when it gets wet. This is the "wettest" year in kalli's history.
People were warned. They stayed.
Thanks. I wasn't aware of the repeat slide zone thing. You have to really like where you live! LOL or be a moron. I think a little of both.
Exactly. If someone lived on the lip of a volcano and then got burned you wouldn't wonder why. Same story here. The hill behind town has been slumping for years. These folks new that they were getting rained on and still they stayed. It must be hard to leave your home, but your choice is to get killed. Sometimes the government won't save you and you have to do it for yourself.
I remember that place! We actually stopped there to pick out a banana tree to take home. I think "it" lives somewhere in Las Vegas now ;) I was sad to hear that the family who owned it sold.

Bingo. And here we are, at the very time we were getting lambasted by the libs saying the US is "too stingy" and we're not giving enough to the Tsunami folks, Southern California is going through their own "tsunami." It will take a lot for them to rebuild. As is Florida, who is still reeling from their hurricaines.
Help from another country? Ha, shudder the thought.
fyi
Gov Moonbeam.
Camarillo State Hospital is now: Cal State Nuthouse, (Channel Islands). One more thing. Kalli gets rain every seven years, whether they need it or not. This is a desert. Ever hear of "El Nino?".
The averages are deceiving. We average 15 inches a year or so. It comes in 2 heavy years followed by 5 drought years. We had an 8 year drought here not too long ago. I was getting ready to paint my lawn green (what little of it there is);>)
The only thing missing is wildfires and earthquakes, it must
be so exciting to live in california kind of like going to
Natures Casino will I be swallowed by mud or drown in a flash flood, should we put the house here or here on this
hillside with no vegitation on it? Or how about down by that gully its closer to the beach!
Are you ok!?>!?!
LOL!!
Passed by that place after a little shore dive this summer at Deer Creek. Great name.
I believe BG is quite a ways south from this place, thankfully!
PHEW! I know she was worried about some ragind drainage canal behind her house.
