This may sound like salt in a festering wound but this, as bad as it is, is just a harbinger of what’s ahead: this is just incompetence, political/social malfeasance — what if this wind event occurred during "The Big One," an M7.8+ on the SAF, the Northridge Fault, etc., hydrants would be empty due to water line ruptures, districts/valle…

AND, it doesn’t have to be an earthquake or fires: what if we have another rain event like the winter of 61/62 (1861/1862) when the Central Valley became a 300 mile long lake, the areas south of San Francisco flooded; this not a "what if… " there will be an ARkStorm, we may be overdue — it’s only a question of which will hit first: devastating deluge or terrific temblor. What if… 🤔
There is no end of possible disasters that can happen here. We've got abandoned nuclear plants, a volcano, earthquakes, wind, floods. Not to mention the occasional fire and mudslide (usually follows a fire).

And yet...folks keep building there. Irrational - makes no sense.
