Exactly, be prepared...

This type of weather shows how fragile the infra-structure can be. California could be in a real bad way if they have series large earthquakes. The people living there are going to have to adopt a survivalist strategies.

Thanks...kinda sleep deprived last night, couldn't think of it.

Interesting....

The new Madrid fault. Sorry forgot to attach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMdv2...

Yea, That area too. The east west roads, except the deep south are a vulnerable part of our county as well, if devastated, would stop all ground traffic to or from the west. Forget the name of that N/S fault zone or area.
Most of our food and fuel travels that route...the eastern half would starve and freeze.

Hi Olduglycarl ,
It doesn't need to be an earthquake just shoddy maintenance . Watch the collapse of 35w bridge into downtown Minneapolis. I 35 dissects the nation from Duluth to Laredo , Texas.

I was thinking of Moab's valley north of here or rural Utah actually

Something for all of us, I think....

Nah, they don't need any plan, they just keep voting the same corrupt crowd of Dumbocraps into the state, then voting to do insane things like 65 Billion for light rail, while bridges and dams collapse. Hello?

Please, oh pretty please!

I heard on our radio a piece by a mining person who was crying out at Oregons attempts now to ban all mining on the upper streams of the state, after they already banned it on the lower parts. The most stupid part is the justification: "a memorial to some numbskull politician" No need to use any facts anymore, they have decayed into idolatry to justify stupidity. And drive us all bankrupt at the same time.

You got it. Life cycle of politics in America today, we have to break the cycle and the addiction to everyone's money but their own.

My point exactly, these politicos on both sides manipulate and twist things, blow money on their special interests, unions and such, then turn around when disaster strikes and says "oops", all off you need to pony up to pay for the new (fill in the blank). Pure BS from all of them, just looting on a huge scale.

On the other side of the Cascades in increasingly liberal Bend, our infrastructure is crumbling while we shove money at schools to promote Climate Change hysteria. Lots of money is available for the latter, little for the former.

Doubt there are any mining companies that want to take a risk in CA, so fiat is their only choice;^) Not much demand for a currency based on tourism.

You could always escape to Pahrump. :-)

They might be more inclined to secede if they envision a long series of Trump-like presidencies in their future. If secession is not an option, they might come around to supporting states' rights in order to implement a far-left progressive agenda in their own state without interference from the feds.

If they secede, they will be able to print their own money to dig themselves out of the massive debt hole they created. The Calidollar will probably inflate faster than the Trumpdollar. :-)

they would want to secede into a socialist state....

If they are well to do, and like the typical well to do people, they are liberals and would reject secession.

3 weeks for Las Vegas would result in riots with the entitled people taking what they could get from the rest.

This is true for a LOT of people. I currently live in Las Vegas, which would be devastated if I-15 was closed for some reason for more than a couple of days. 2 million people here are dependent on government infrastructure for power (Hoover dam) and water, and the roads. I better look and make sure I am independent for at least a couple of months.

Its scary to think of all the infrastructure that is under the control of government. Government only exists to promote itself and its minions- anything else is just frosting on the cake as far as they are concerned

The infrastructure must be maintained. This an issue that all politicians ignore at their own peril. Because when it's working, why spend money on it? Then when the poop hits the rotary air movement device. Everybody points the finger at whoever is sitting in office. They then vote in someone who promises to Rebuild the infrastructure and that person quickly gets sucked into the system, and it all happens again.
