On Halloween morning, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck in a rural area of northeast of San Jose, California.Southern California is lining up fire crews and aircraft to get a jump on wildfires if the hot, dry Santa Ana winds expected to return this weekend cause major flare-ups.
I left California over ten years ago, because the cost of living was just getting so high. The poverity level was around $30,000. From an article in the Pittsburgh Turbine the cost of living in California has not changed much.
People and disaster are making California an undesired place to live. Southern California is suffering from fire damage and the threat of fires. Northern California is constantly in the fear of a major earthquake. Those in the middle or on the outer edges of California are suffering financially from the economic impact.
We are headed for tough times. The people in California will probably suffer more than the rest of us. We as part of the United States, one nation, under God need to pull together. If we all stay in our own little world and cry, we too may end up "Shaken and Baken".
