Wow.
Isn't the Central Valley really big?
Bigger than Maryland.
if California decides to leave..we keep the Central Valley..lol
future blog post idea Rob..put up a color coded electoral map of California...
at county level or even better would be precinct level
I'm from Maryland. You can't evacuate Maryland.
Cr is worrying about productivity, with no concern about sharing same.
Great blog? I think not.
You are correct about different Californias.

I have all the data but smaller divisions get too messy to understand.
here's one I think tells the story a bit better...gradients of red and blue by precinct.
So the state is mostly pink (lean republican)..but that gets overwhelmed by intense blue in the most populous areas..

some surprises when you look by neighborhood...
Sierra Madre/Altadena/ La Canada I would expect to vote Republican..but they are mildly blue..
same for the Hermosa/redondo/Manhattan beach corridor
even much of PVE & Rolling Hills..except for small strips where the super wealthy (as opposed to just ordinary wealthy) live.. lol
Republicans are fat!
Come the flood they'll float!
Hasn't the flood already come to you?

Hi landlord
Hi Liz. I have to fire up a special browser to post here, but I thought you might enjoy some Cali water fun. We got some real rain here finally!
Better than false rain!
Alligators on the golf course? Oh my!
Power to the dawghaus is a bit twitchy. Shutting down the shed of exile. Still have wireless phone access but no new post tonight. Fascinating stuff about Ca moving to Tx and NY moving to... go ahead. Guess.
Just watched a bid of the rocket landing taken from a drone. Really cool!
Video
NY moves to FLA would be my guess...
Too easy! Yes. More data from the American Community Survey.
article in the Seattle papers today about people freaking out over cost of car registration. Voters approved a huge tax increase in Nov to fund light rail around Seattle metro..and now the first bills are going out. Turns out the tax increase is $80 per $1,000 of car value (they must calculate using Kelly's BB or something)
Article mentioned a guy who owns a Tesla..whose car registration went from $500 per year to $1,500....oops
sorry..$80 per $10K of car value...
Reminds me of the fallout from the Philly soda tax.

SML, have you gotten that LD player lit up yet?
People complained a lot. Wasn't repealed was it?
Is this guy accurate or exaggerating?
Ummmm, shouldn't they be evacuation sacramento, like,,,, now?
Public rail transit. The gift that keeps on taking.
Just emailed my eldest Woodland CA elevation 70 feet to stock up on water and propane. Yes I think there should be notices going out that there might be severe congestion and to watch for notices and act immediately. My concern is that a lot people are probably considering evacuating along routes that might close. Worse is the likelihood of too man people being clever and deciding to take the farm roads.
Interesting reading.

Seems I'm not the only one concerned about gridlock. Oroville was only 200k people.

Evacuate early and often!
When we evacuated before hurricane Andrew we had a 7 hour traffic jam, and the vast majority did not evacuate
By now, I mean right now.
Do the authorities know to turn the roads all in an outbound direction?
We had a small house to go to with a sound roof, beds and clean sheets
Luck that today is George Birthington's Washday holiday.
Okay. The rain is steady and there are lots of monitors over a large cachement. They are going to know with advance warning. This isn't a storm causing local problems. They will know crest time and locations and heights well in advance.
Do they know how long it will take to persuade stubborn people to get out?
Yes several routes are capable of reverse flow but they lead to places that aren't and there just aren't enough Nat'l Guard depots and high school gyms to handle the numbers. A million plus would need to leave a very dense conurbation and go.... well that's the problem. South to Oroville? West to Davis? That would be interesting. UC Davis could handle tens of thousands just not their cars. Park them at the fairgrounds and bus the people in to the classrooms? Make them abandon their stuff for only a single bag? Logistics nightmare.
Also Florida has lots and lots of hotel rooms to go to. Kali does too, I assume.
With andrew, you just drove north.
Good Morning!
TJ are you talking about Lazer Disc? I still have a couple of players and a few disc.
What a mess, hope the dam doesn't go bust and everyone leaves in time. Better safe then sorry.
Animals. Prescription drugs. Beloved pictures and antiques. Each car. An argument. Not so many hotel rooms to the west? Fla highways not designed for reverse flow. You just drive over the grass when NH ecessary. And you stop collecting tolls!
Locally as the sunrises. Well presumably rises as it has been quite the stranger lately. Our 50% chance of 1/4th inch by late afternoon has seen a 1/2 inch already.
Sounds like the situation the PNW will be in if/when the "big one" ever hits.
North/South/West won't be viable directions to evacuate..everyone will be trying to head east..over a few mountain passes...
I hope there is just enough damage to inspire a great wave of infrastructure building!!!
If the Cascade fault slips there won't be time. Best get out a surfboard and roll up a fatty.
Now in addition to earthquakes and tsunami what about volcanos? Then west east and south are out so North?
This is why you go early..or, you die. Maybe you shouldn't live there in the. First place.
The Cascade slipping would swamp the coastlines (+ 20 miles) for sure...but Seattle Metro is pretty far inland (downtown might get a little wet from Puget Sound acting like a large disturbed bathtub)...
Portland on the other hand would take a more direct hit..and all their fuel storage is out on a man-made island in the middle of the Columbia river..so it will be quite the environmental disaster to boot..
The bigger risk to Seattle metro is probably the Seattle fault..which is smaller..but runs right thru town...good times!!
They are saying the people out on the Olympic Peninsula (west of here) should be ready to be on their own for 2-3 months if the Cascade slips...they are linked to the rest of us by a couple of critical (and huge) bridges that probably won't make it..
Ha ha. Sure.
They will be picked up by boat s and helicopters. Nobody but a few Mormons and survivalist keep those kinds of supplies.
Maybe you shouldn't live there in the. First place.
I'm trying to tie up some "loose ends" and get out of here asap...proving to be more difficult than expected.. :)
About week three as the mainland tries to recover, expect someone at emergency services to ask "hey has anyone heard from the Olympia peninsula yet?"
"hey has anyone heard from the Olympia peninsula yet?"
hahahaha...very true!!
earthquakes suck..but for sheer terror and destruction..tornadoes take the cake I think. The best you can say about them is the damage is usually localized and it's over with quickly...
