Of course, cause cataclysmic earthquakes happen so often. Meanwhile living in Michigan where it gets below -20 degree's F is MUCH safer. Least a hurricane is over in a few mintues cause it blows right past you or over you. Earthquakes well that's just silly. Now freezing fucking cold now that's something to go "wtf' why would you live there?

Keep an eye on the water level of Lake Mead. Drought is your natural disater waiting to happen:Thess wrote:Las Vegas has no major natural disasters - sometimes we flood, but depends which area you live in.
From the same article:This latest string of dry years has hit states dependent on the Colorado River basin, at one time a seemingly eternal well for 25 million people, millions of acres of farmland and an assortment of endangered and other animals.
Lakes Powell and Mead, the two massive reservoirs that catch the Colorado, are less than half full, exposing long-submerged landscapes to direct sunlight for the first time in decades. It could take a 10-year run of average rain and snow to refill the reservoirs.
Lake Powell, which straddles the Utah-Arizona border, is at a historic low level. Nevada's Lake Mead has been lower only twice before, counting the period when Lake Powell was filled for the first time.
"We are at a critical juncture in the history of the Colorado River, a river we all depend on for our lives," said Jack August, an Arizona historian who studies water trends.
California draws enough water out of the Colorado for more than 1 million households a year. Seventy percent of San Diego County's drinking water comes from the river.
The frantic hunt for more supplies has states pondering expensive options. Colorado and Nevada are scouting pipeline routes to ship water to parched regions. Some farmers may be paid far more than their crops are worth to leave fields unplanted. Las Vegas home builders have been banned from planting grass in front yards.
We love our sheep!In Arizona, the Marines pitched in to help build watering holes to keep rare sheep from dying of thirst.
A five-year drought in Nevada is showing no sign of easing, despite a few widely scattered showers in the Reno-Carson City area yesterday and today. The U.S. Farm Services Agency in Nevada meets today to decide whether to recommend a disaster area declaration to the governor and federal Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman. All 17 counties received the declaration last year...
...In the south, Lake Mead is expected to drop below eleven-hundred-25 feet above sea level by year's end, its lowest point in 39 years.

Our power just came on, it was a fun four days with no electricity.
Luckily the house we rent was unscathed by the storm, but it was pretty scary during it. The storm was still a category 2 when it hit Longwood with gusts up to 100mph.

I hope this is not a serious post. I can see how Bush can be blamed for decades of people moving west and changing the the weather patterns by clear cutting forests and changing crop patterns that occurred naturally.Siji wrote:I find it highly amusing how staunch supporters of Bush bring up the problems with the environment.
During his reign in Texas, their pollution level became #1 in the country did it not? Topping even California. He has single handedly turned back more environmental protection laws than I could count. Anything to benefit companies instead of the environment.Kilmoll the Sexy wrote:I hope this is not a serious post.

Since you asked, I'd have no problem relying on other countries for things that the US needs. Then again, I'd also like a president and/or government that worked towards improving our relations with those countries that have things we need/want instead of going over and stealing it. Unfortunately too many people think that this round hunk of rock revolves around this chunk of land. Whose fault is it that we 'require' so much oil? Or better yet, that we still require so much and are doing extremely little to try to change that?Kilmoll the Sexy wrote:So you would rather us rely on oil from the middle east and end up in messes like Iraq? I get it now.Siji wrote: , and promoting new oil exploration in previously protected regions."
However, there was still criticism, as the state of Texas in 1990 ranked first (worst) in the nation in carbon dioxide emissions, discharging more than the United Kingdom, Poland, Canada, and Italy. The 575 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emitted made Texas the seventh largest emitter in the world
Moreover, according to the Toxic Release Inventory, of the more than 3,000 counties in the United States, Harris County is second in carcinogenic emissions, with nearly eleven million pounds released or transferred in 1988. Two other Texas counties (Brazoria and Jefferson) are among the top ten emitters of carcinogens.
I am not saying he is environmentally sound. I am saying he is just like every other politican that is ever going to run for President or Governor. I am sick of the chicken littles who proclaim he is the greatest inherent evil to ever walk the earth, when he is pretty much an average President.Sylvus wrote:So wait, Kilmoll, are you arguing that Bush is a pretty environmentally conscious president?
Bringing up the 48 other governors is a different argument, as none of them are the incumbent president (though the thread did move in that direction and you were merely following it). All of the facts that you point out are that while Texas was bad when Bush left office there, it was also bad before he came. Did I miss anywhere that says anything about him improving Texas environmentally? Are the items that Siji posted not relevant to an administration with an eye on the environment or not that damaging to the environment or flat-out lies, in your opinion?
This has been brought up before, and if I recall, several people on this board ride bicycles to work.Kilmoll the Sexy wrote:posted anything about the environment on this board at all ride a bike to work? I would love to see a list of what vehicles you drive.
Rode bicycle to class the entire time, while working back home I took mass communication systems to work every day, here it will depend on how close I get a job since the job market now pretty much suck. There are some buses here though so if I work near one I'll definitely use it. Don't smoke, no idea what kind of heating this apartment complex has though..How many of you whining fuckers who have posted anything about the environment on this board at all ride a bike to work? I would love to see a list of what vehicles you drive. Do you smoke? Are you polluting the air with dope smoking? Have you purchased new furnaces to be more efficient in output of emissions? Until you can walk the walk, shut the fuck up.

Got the cash to buy the car when I find one I want.. just picky heh. Not to mention I might consider moving out of Ohio to a more technological area.
