We worry more Tsunami than hurricanes. A lot of the west side is right
at sea level. Occasionally a high tide will swamp the neighborhoods by
the beach. The sea level rise associated with global warming will do
billions in damage here.

Long Beach California Below Sea Level

N'Awlins is about six feet below Sea level.
The lowest point below Sea level in Los Angeles County is about nine
feet below Sea level at Wilmington.There are some other Cities in
America that are at least partially below Sea level.

Parts of the area in CA from La Quinta through Indio, Coachella, and around
the Salton Sea are at or below sea level. It's amusing to see my GPS showing
below sea level readings. Like being at the Dead Sea.

I am about 281 feet above Sea level.Even the Easter Flood of 1979 didn't
flood my yard and house.Heh, those politicians around here asked for and
got a lot of money to study flood control and for some new Levees along
the Pearl River next to Jackson.They stold that money.They haven't done
zip sh.t about flood control for Jackson and the suburb Cities around
Jackson.There is a lot of new construction projects along that streatch
of the Pearl River and more to come too.There will be another Jackson
flood someday.They will be hollering for lots of more money too, so they
can steal that money.
Highy n Dry, that's the way I like it.

Move to SW Ohio Telamon.:-) IMO it is one of the safest areas to live
in. Until recently, last summer, when we actually had those hurricane
winds it was. From what I have been told that was only a taste test. I
couldn't believe that day. I could actually "see" the wind. To many of
you that live in those areas I am sure that isn't a big deal, but it
gave me much respect for the wind that I never had before. My antennas
never flinched.patting my back

That's a pretty good pirate story there.

Got a better one, and an FCC letter to show for it. :)

1973, I was 18. I set up a 20 watt FM pirate in a small town about 25 miles
outside of Portland, OR. There was a large ridge between me and the city,
so virtually no signal got out of there toward Portland, and not much got
into the area FROM Portland.

The TX was a homebrew redesign of a 220 MHz AM ham rig. The coils were
simple to rewind. The oscillator stage was at ~12 MHz IIRC, and all had to
do to make it FM (it was a variable oscillator to start with) was to add a
varactor diode and bias network.

I built my own stereo modulator for it using Compactron tubes. It wasn't the
most stable, since it was a free running 19 KHz oscillator, but it did work.

Range on the setup, including a home-made 1/4 wave vertical dipole on my
roof, was ~ 15 miles, and could be heard much further away at the top of a
mountain about 26 miles distant, on a Sony stereo boom box (one of the very
earliest such). Don't know what the range on a decent car radio would have
been, since the car I drove back then didn't have a radio in it.

I had a deal with a local record shop where they would loan me a new LP in
exchange for a public radio style sponsorship plug. It worked out really
well, and I had a good listenership (remember that signal problem mentioned
above?).

It all came crashing in one day when the local FCC field engineer stopped by
(probably didn't help that I was dissing the FCC fairly heavily) to shut me
down. Seems that I was interfering with the channel 12 TV reception (nearly
non-existant at the best of times) of a neighbor. Two guys came to my door
and asked me if I had a pirate radio station. After admitting I did, they
asked to see it. I showed them the setup, and they asked if I had a
microphone (stupid question, since I obviously did, and they could see it
there on the boom at the console). I said yes, and they said "open it, and
tell your listeners you're going off the air by order of the FCC." I got on
and made my spiel, then they said, "now, turn it off, and LEAVE it off!"

They didn't even confiscate anything (amazing, that was, especially since
hanging on the window frame above my console was my 3rd. class phone license
with broadcast endorsement, which wasn't even cancelled, and I went on to
gain a 1st class phone license a few years later), but I did get a nice
letter from them a few weeks later. Paraphrasing: You done it. Don't do it
again, or we'll slam your butt in jail or fine you $20G, or both!..

It was fun. It wasn't my last pirate. I even had one in Portland on AM a
year later. Cat and mouse with Uncle Charlie.. it's the American way. :)

There is no cooling going on. In fact, the warming will kick into high

I wish it would rain real good over here.Maybe then that sweet little
puppy Dog next door could at least lap up some water off of that
concrete slab it has to stay on all the time over there.

That little puppy is barely two something months old, perhaps going on
three months old.Yesterday, I told both of those democraps over there
the Dog needs some food and water.Yesterday at about 5:45 PM I was
putting my tools up, I saw that democrap woman's little girl (she is
between four to five years old) hitting that little Dog with some
switches.The Dog rolled over on his back, she threw the switches down
and started hitting the Dog on his belly.There is NO reason to treat a
little Dog like that! NO reason at all!

It is TRUE! democrats and libs REALLY ARE CLINICALLY INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!

That Dog goes all day long with NO food and water.The Dog oviously
doesn't get enough food.I feel sorry for that poor little puppy Dog.

I just recently gave you the name of a person of enormous recognition and

Until you contact him and ask if I owned radio stations in Ecuador in the

Edward and I were friends while he was in Ecuador on a Fulbright Scholarship
grant he received after graduating from Harvard. He's been in my stations,
heard them on the air and knows about them. What better proof could you want
than someone of such a prominent public profile?

past 15 years. Even when we had 40 billion dollars in damage, we only
lost about 75 lives.


Hope you're right Dave, many in La. never thought it would happen to
them either.


We're all aware of the potential. It's part of the price you pay to
live in a place with interesting topography. I am 10 miles from the San
Andreas Fault. I do not put heavy stuff where it can fall on people. I
keep a couple weeks work of food, water, and propane at the house, and
never let my tanks get below 1/3 full. I think about "the big one"
every day.

You should probably think about moving pretty soon.
I'm in no hurry. I figure with the global cooling going on there is
nothing to worry about.


- There is no cooling going on.
- In fact, the warming will kick into high gear
- as soon as the sunspots start going back up.

I wished no one in RRS lived in California or any of the surrounding
fault areas. Because when it goes down, I mean "really" goes down, it
will be unlike anything just about any of us has seen.

Extremely informative link RHF, I enjoyed that. The freeking quake was
so strong it changed the current of the river....lol....that is
"almost" unbelievable, like maybe a urban legend. But I have no doubt
that is true and it just shows not only the destruction one can cause
but to literally change current flow.

I can picture two men out there fishing when it went down. I'll leave
the rest to your imagination or heaven forbid a cowboy and his lady
doing the hanky panky, I better stop. ;-)

Floods, Tornados, Hurricanes.I am not scared of any Floods because I am
sure the neighborhood I live in will never Flood in my lifetime.I didn't
used to be scared of any Hurricanes, untill Katrina ripped ten shingles
off of the top of my house and blew down three trees across the street I
live on.

But, Tornados,,, Tornados Scare the damn Crap out of me!

Move to SW Ohio Telamon.:-) IMO it is one of the safest areas to live
in. Until recently, last summer, when we actually had those hurricane
winds it was. From what I have been told that was only a taste test. I
couldn't believe that day. I could actually "see" the wind. To many of
you that live in those areas I am sure that isn't a big deal, but it
gave me much respect for the wind that I never had before. My antennas
never flinched.patting my back


Every place on earth has some problem.

You go ahead and believe the global warming crowd. I'll still with
global cooling.
