That deals with Human and economic impact. This deals with the desertification of the Central Valley. Science knew when they were building everything up, desertification would slowly have a effect. But that happened a lot faster then anyone thought it possibly could. It is also happening in Western Africa at an alarming rate.

And yet people still ask why I moved to Portland. My home town is in the center of the San Joaquin valley with nothing but irrigation for massive amounts of farmland. With less than an inch of rain a year, it's not self sustainable and maybe that's a bad idea.
you guys have the same birthday? wild.
Part of the problem is for several decade they weighted the land with billons of gallons of water. Now suddenly the land has been relieved of this weight. Aquifers dry up and collapse. Faults are compromised. The compressed land will surely rebound. As water can only seek its own level.
By 1906 Urbanization of the San Francisco Peninsula reached it's Pinnacle. The Wells and the Water Table were altered so severely that it effected the Geology along the San Andreas in the years prior to 1906. And then bang. So instead of talking about a disaster on a Metropolitan scale, we could be talking a regional event. Even small rebound event would be truly epic. It has happened before and will happen again. This process created the Sierras, The Cascades, and somewhat the Coastal Ranges up and down the west coast. It doesn't help that the area is a subduction zone and littered with Dormant Volcanoes...
The Jebus emerges from the earth in LA spewing lava from all orifices, stumbling about, crushing buildings. She is tens of meters tall and there is no water to quench her wrath.

Excellent night to go out for a meal with my Wife. The restaurants were mostly empty and from what I can gather there was not much of a football game to be missed.
Is this what the broncos meant when they coined the nickname The Orange Crush?

The kid we caught tagging the wall at my buddies house got 5 years supervised probation. His Mother and Father have to pay $15K in restitution. The Father stood up and asked the Judge why he had to pay for the mistakes of his Son. I guess he was unaware that he was responsible for his child until its 18th birthday....
"Texas is the only state I know of where a rancher can tell an FBI, DEA or other agent to get off his land and the Rangers will make it stick."

Scottish people love putting Scottish flag stickers on their car, is it a pride thing? I would feel like a complete dick driving around in another country with an Aussie flag on my car.
