A major wildfire springing up in California seems like a daily event there.

These brush fires happen all the time there. Los Angeles would be a parched desert if left alone.

This could be great news for all those Californians that are upside down on their mortgages. If the house burns to the ground just collect the insurance, it should pay more than a short sale and a much more attractive option than a forclosure. I would be salivating over the prospect right about now if I were them.

When I first saw that picture, I thought it was volcano...
So, any estimates on how long before the entire state goes up in flames?

Then I saw a map of the U.S. In Texas those affected by hurricane [Ike] had empty hands and there was no money to help them. Montana was really angry about things and trying to break away from the U.S. This brought even more control by the government.
Then I saw California and a large earthquake to the north and a row of smaller ones along a fault line to the south. Along the Cascades there was a major drop in the earth along a fault, the west part dropped.
Then I could see the continents shifting slightly. The Midwest was buckling and so was the strike-slip fault line off the Pacific coast. The coast was buckling under the pressure. Then again I saw Krakatau explode and the great tsunami hit the western coastline all the way from Washington state to Baja... it was so bad. So many people hit. Hopes destroyed and people dead. California was covered in water. I do think this dissipates later, but the damage was irreversible. People were leaving the coastline in droves, coming inland, moving to safer places. (I do not know where this event fits into things.)

So...California will burn, experience a massive earthquake, and then be sent to the bottom of the sea by a tsunami?
Sucks to be them.
