Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
One of the canyons I mountain bike in had a pretty big fire earlier this year. This is what it looks like when the first heavy rain of the season hits:
It pushes 'flash floods' to a whole new level.
I haven't been following the news, but are those fires under control now @Bonsai Nut ?
I have heard about the insurance companies who are pulling out of California, I wonder what will happen if that comes to pass that there isn't coverage available.I actually live in part of California that doesn't get fires - it is too developed. The fires start out in the forests / scrub. California has ZERO restrictions on development, so they let all kinds of people build housing out in high-risk burn areas, and when they inevitably burn, people are left wondering - why? And then they rebuild. And burn again. And rebuild...
In the case of the canyon in the video, it is located in Cleveland National Forest. Some idiot who lived in a cabin up that canyon allegedly got into an argument with his neighbors and lit a brush fire to teach them a lesson. 23,000 acres later, the guy is looking at life in prison if convicted.

I am in that business. There is always coverage, like cancer you just have to pay for it. Want to drink and drive? Even those guys get insurance......for a lot of money!!!I have heard about the insurance companies who are pulling out of California, I wonder what will happen if that comes to pass that there isn't coverage available.
guys like Greg and his 550,000.00 dollar house want 150,000.00 a year salary. That’s the reason.
That’s why I live in Fresno. Median here is $20,000.00 and two Modelo’s.The median price of a home in San Jose just passed $1 million this year(!) But it still pales in comparison to the median price of a home in San Francisco - which just passed $1.6 million... and 90%+ don't have quake insurance.
Makes us poor slobs living in Orange County feel like slum dogs Median price here is only $720,000.
Well. I don’t like to brag about the people I hang out with but he weighs 267 has two teardrop tattoos by his eye and has “FRESNO” on his neck. When he shows up it has to be Modelo Negro.Two Modelos. One for the buyer and...?
The Darwin Awards are typically for the young, because the criteria for winning one is, "Enriching the gene pool by dying without contributing to it... without progeny." Once someone has a biological child, they are disqualified for the award. Most of the knuckleheads in that footage look old enough to be parents.The people who stand next to a mudslide always strike me as future Darwin award winners! When things start coming down the mountain the last thing to do is stand next to it, and expect it to be safe and predictable.

People that like to watch the uncontrollable power of nature from the front row are crazy, or really naive.
