John,
I was at Ft. Lewis when I came home from Korea and the rain was what kept me from taking a couple of job offers I had up there. It is beautiful country but I would almost swear it rained at least a shower every day. I did go to the Olympia Rain Forrest and that was interesting. And of course it was pouring rain all day that day.
Joe,
Here the evacuation plans for San Francisco in case of the big one are a joke. For one thing 90% of the darn city is on fill dirt and the only road that doesn't go over a bridge breaks in even the small quakes. I watched a show where they talked to the San Francisco Fire Chief and She said it was a city built to burn as all that fill dirt turns to mush when it is shaken and the lines will be broken all over. I remember seeing the runways at San Francisco Airport always being shut down for repairs because of big cracks and when the tide is in they are just a foot or so above the water. Heck, the bridges are falling now and there isn't even a quake to blame it on. The Bay Bridge is getting old and has a lot of really unsafe areas.
