Next up, the rain and the Mudslides. It is just a cycle of Calif BS.
Oh moon beam will beg for federal aid to help rebuild homes in the same spot. Making the ready for the next cycle of Fire, Rain, Mudslides.
As if people in Florida, the Midwest, and in flood plains across the country DON’T rebuild in the same places that disasters overtake them?
As if the guy who just got totally wiped out magically gets enough money to go buy another patch of land someplace else to build on?
In tornado country, you’re probably statistically safer rebuilding right where ya got hit. Flood plains — depends on the size of the flood; was it a “100 Year Flood” or the annual wash out? Fire? Same. Statistically safer to rebuild right where ya were, and just increase your defensible space over what you had previously.
Florida — ya get your annual dose of equatorial African ugly, and there’s nothing you can do but prep like a beast, roll the bones and hope it’s all standing when the wind dies down.
Fires in California burn different places every year; the same swatch of Earth doesn’t get razed regularly. This particularly murderous flaming massacre will not be seen, again, in our lifetimes.
Mudslides, although portrayed by national media as practically Statewide, are confined to relatively small regions of the State; Malibu is notorious. Sitting at home in Jersey Watching CNN cover it, you’d think all of Malibu takes a dive into the Pacific every February or March; it just isn’t the case. And there are a few other areas that are prone. Maybe this is a “newsflash,” but #fakenews has been around a long damned time. Don’t buy it.
