Anyone thinking of leaving?

24. Just had this conversation

We're 60 miles north of SF. This is the fourth year in a row of fire terror, 2017 we were evacuated for 3 weeks. Now it's high alert, go bags packed.
We all live in rural settings and so far, have been very lucky.
Climate change is having a devastating effect on many parts of the country. While previous years fire have resulted from human activity or negligence by utility companies, most of these fires are the result of lightning, and several are in areas of 80-90 percent dead trees after the long drought and voracious beetles. And a couple of them are arson, or stupidity.
All of us at socially distanced lunch today agreed there is no where else we would want to live. Everywhere has something, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, locusts, republicans.
Most of the time it is paradise here and we intend to stay as long as we can. We have to believe we will be able to right at least part of the horrific damage we have done to our planet, and we can find a balance with nature.
Yes it is a very scary dark red outside, but that is keeping the sun from heating things up and that is helping fight the nightmare we have going on in our state right now.
Big step will be getting Democrats in charge of as much of the government as possible, starting at the top. We can do this.
