What crimes are happening right now because the police are busy?

More to the point, what terrorist activities are happening? Is port security lax right now because resources are being sent to firefighting, because people are off the job trying to save their homes....

When the Oklahoma City bomb went off, all law enforcement and medical rescue resources were tied up for DAYS. It was a bad time to need an ambulance or a surgeon. If someone had planned a second attack anywhere in the state, it would have been a huge mess.

I am wondering if the strained California budget can possibly handle a fire and anti-terrorist activities at the same time. I'm hoping that the FBI is on top of this already--it's too late to warn them if they haven't already thought of this.

I have to go to sleep.

My MIL near Hemet is not going to be sleeping tonight. She's recovering from cancer, has a dog and SEVEN cats, and an aged Volkswagen. She won't leave the cats behind, nor her dog. If she has to evacuate, I don't know what she will do or where she will go. Everybody she knows nearby is in the same fix.

I just drove into Los Angeles and back from Rancho Cucamonga, which is relatively safe now that fires have moved away. An accident must of happened on southbound 605 after I passed through, traffic was flowing great when I went through south bound, but on my return 25 minutes later an accident had occurred. There were two fire engines and at least one police car already at the accident. Response appeared normal. I think however that assests from Northern California and nearby states are now being employed.
Hope your friend decides the cats are not as important as herself.
