Essentially, big storm, gonna kill CA, not sure when.

The ARkStorm has several public policy implications: (1) An ARkStorm raises serious questions about the ability of existing federal, state, and local disaster planning to handle a disaster of this magnitude. (2) A core policy issue raised is whether to pay now to mitigate, or pay a lot more later for recovery. (3) Innovative financing solutions are likely to be needed to avoid fiscal crisis and adequately fund response and recovery costs from a similar, real, disaster. (4) Responders and government managers at all levels could be encouraged to conduct risk assessments, and devise the full spectrum of exercises, to exercise ability of their plans to address a similar event. (5) ARkStorm can be a reference point for application of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and California Emergency Management Agency guidance connecting federal, state and local natural hazards mapping and mitigation planning under the National Flood Insurance Plan and Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. (6) Common messages to educate the public about the risk of such an extreme disaster as the ARkStorm scenario could be developed and consistently communicated to facilitate policy formulation and transformation.

In terms of public policy, this is kind of fascinating. Precedence states that when the state can't handle the emergency, the governor asks for federal aid and typically receives something. On other hand, we're talking Katrina^10 with this CA Storm.

It's just Storm with metal arms and a more negative attitude.
 
It'll wipe out millions of poor people, removing them from the dole. Plus, think of all the jobs that will be created by rebuilding the state.

We've solved the employment and budgetary crises!

Hell yeah, XXXMen, with Werewolfverine and a TWO EYED Cyclops.

That's right, you can't handle it.
 
You all are spoiled anyway, this is what you get for rubbing your usually beautiful weather in everyone's face.

I would read that book.
 
If this happened I'd bet money we'd hear from Pat Robertson on how it's the fault of Hollywood for being so immoral or something.
 
Some people around here lose control of their cars around here given the slightest drizzle. The carnage that goes down when those same people flood their engines underestimating a flooded street is going to be astronomical.

Sacramento is one huge flood plain and would be fucked in a big storm where a major levee broke. I'm a bit to the east so I have a head start to run to the hills when shit goes down.
 
My GF was suggesting we move to CA the other day in the near future.... I turned around and gave her this look (are you NUTS!?!?!). CA is way over due for another big earthquake...fuck no. I'd rather stay in the east and deal with the snow. Causalities are less during a "snow event" than an earthquake.

You're right. I can't. :(
 
Ahh, its all coming along nicely.

This MASSIVE storm will just wash away our debt. And it will hit right after that 10.7 earthquake that makes California break off the states and float into the ocean - and the start of our new oceanic utopia.

All ruled by Arnold Schwarzenegger....ALL HAIL KING ARNULD!!!

:bow:

wouldn't be surprised if its gorilla marketing for a new blockbuster movie.
 
fuck if California is devastated by this shit or the megaquake, our economy will tank even more. We can't afford to take another shit like this....oh but we have enough money to fund wars on terror....
 
[quote name='nasum']Two Eyed Cyclops? Is that some kind of butt sex joke?[/QUOTE]
Strell posted it, so there is the possibility.
 
[quote name='VipFREAK']Normally, I'd be annoyed but... THAT was fuckING HILARIOUS.[/QUOTE]

watching that I'm all "the fuck?"
autotune version is better though
