I am gonna say it.  I am.

You know what would really suck?  I mean, really throw this whole situation into a whole new galaxy of fuckery?

An earthquake.  Imagine if Los Angeles was hit with a major earthquake right now.  It is not out of the realm of possibility.  

I am not speaking this into existence, merely highlighting that California can be a dangerous place to live.

Or . . . imagine if Mt. Shasta suddenly woke?  Or Long Valley?  California's natural disaster potential is huuuuge.  And oddly, that is why I love this state so much - it has dangerous beauty. Nature is dangerous.
