California is burning...

I live in the Cajun Prairie,Flat and wet,Rice fields and crawfish ponds, Never been to a desert,But! if I was to go to one I would look for meteorites.

 

I'm told they are magnetic?

 

I would worry about my BOV engine running lean in a fire zone because of oxygen depleted smoke. Superheated intake air will be even thinner on oxygen. These variances will vary by the street foot.

I'm no sure how that works with modern self tuning engines.

 

Interesting thought. I know that vehicles get vapor lock due to elevation and heat. Makes sense. Last time I experienced that issue, I had to shut the car off and let it cool.

This vehicle performed in the fire. The owner will be getting a new Tundra as a gift from Toyota.


A nurse has emerged as one of the heroes of the disaster, driving into the flames to evacuate patients from the intensive care unit he manages. While he made it out alive, his Toyota Tundra didn't fare so well. Once Toyota found out about the nurse's heroic deeds, the company offered to replace his Tundra. https://www.motortrend.com/news/toyota-tundra-california-wildfire-replacement/

 

Go diesel.
I have ran diesel engines off as little as 5% oxygen and they still wouldn't die.

Then when the fires are out and the charred bodies are all found and counted California will go right back to banning plastic straws, large sodas, plastic bags and trying to open the boarders, co-ed locker rooms, ect.

Because to them all their problems are external, everything they do is perfect.

 

Hell Yeah!!!
Now this is one almost free sales campaign for Yotas, BIL has one, He's not to proud of the gas mileage but it keeps on running!!!

 

California officials released the list of those that are still missing. There were last I checked, 103 people still missing, most were last seen in Paradise CA. Just heart breaking. Most of them probably could not physically get to safety.
Here is the list: http://www.buttecounty.net/Portals/24/pdf/CampFireMissingPersons.pdf?ver=2018-11-14-082238-507

 

search for the photos on "Chico walmart parking lot evacuees

They've been told they have to be out - seems the Red Cross is puling out. No shelters have opened other than an old (closed) Sears store. Oh - no pets.

300,000 displaced.
In Katrina, over 600K were still displaced a month later.

 

Some are and some aren’t. Depends on the composition. I have some i’ve purchased for my collection. The grain structure of an iron meteorite when cut, polished and etched is beautiful.

 

California is really good at producing homeless people.

 

on top of everything else - the refugee camps that FEMA has opened are getting hit by poor sanitary conditions >>>> hundreds of dysentary illnesses coming from 4 different camps >>>> that can spread like the wildfire did ....

 

Why aren't all the compassionate Californians opening their homes to these refugees?

 

California has a larger population than all of Canada combined

Nobody wants to take in a refugee that may never leave. There is nothing to go back to - no homes, no businesses, no jobs - no nothing.

Paradise CA was not exactly the high rent district of the foothills.
The average income of a Paradise (zip 95969) resident is $25,740 a year. This is cali was everything is expensive...
14.1% of the population for whom poverty status is determined in Paradise, CA (3,636 out of 25,873 people) live below the poverty line,with the largest demographic living in poverty is Male 18-24, followed by Male 45-54 and then Male 55-64.

yes you can if you have enough water. the problem in CA is they have dried up most of the reservoirs to provide water to the LA basin and they are Metro Water Authority is still taking wate out of the Colorado River and using it in the LA Basin despite water laws that prohibit moving water from one basin to another.

Look at the fisher's in Mexico that have dried up because CA uses too much water

Don't get me started on CA and the Metro Water District.

 

Doubly sad, since California is on the coast, and could set up desalinization plants, for fresh water production. Would it be expensive? Probably. But they always seem to have more dollars, than sense....so it shouldn't really be an issue, should it?

 

The news is saying they have to leave Wal-mart due to the colder temperatures and that rain is moving in.

They rain, though much needed, could cause mudslides and will make it harder for rescuers to locate the missing.
