"The rates of San Joaquin Valley subsidence documented since 2014 by NASA are troubling and unsustainable," DWR Director William Croyle is quoted saying in a recent post from NASA Earth Observatory. "Subsidence has long plagued certain regions of California. But the current rates jeopardize infrastructure serving millions of people. Groundwater pumping now puts at risk the very system that brings water to the San Joaquin Valley. The situation is untenable."

And yet .... more and more people keep going to California, many of them immigrant, legal and illegal.

What part of UNSUSTAINABLE do the people of California not understand?

Well .. it’s scary to me .. I’ve experienced a 7.1 in San Diego, and I’ll tell you it’s really scary. There is a fault line that runs from West to East, from the coastline to the inner fault line .. and it’s very near the CA/MEX border.

If the new fault triggers the two lower CA fault lines .. it could go all the way from Fresno to San Diego.

It’s not nice to think about .. but the excessive rains, and now the hot-hot weather .. always worries me.

I guess that’s why I’m seriously considering a move to Southern OR.
