They certainly should wherever possible. There are some areas that may not be realistically feasible though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the high risk areas are typically not urban, and LA is not typically noted for having hurricane force winds. I don't think the LA basin would have been considered high risk. The hillsides, that wind typically speeds up and shoots through, would be the more high risk type areas, I believe. Burying power lines over the hills would likely require tunnel drilling through them, as trenching would be too difficult. There is another thing to consider with burying power in LA. Buried lines are much more difficult to isolate specific problems and when they do have problems, it’s much more costly to fix. Combine that with LA’s earthquakes, causing regular breaks in lines, the initial cost and subsequent regular maintenance would be astronomically expensive.
Notoriously missing from Trump rants, aside from facts, any word of concern or compassion for people who died or lost everything.
So if a hurricane hit NYC 4 years before it was to host an Olympics, would it have to be invoked too? Thank God I'm not fucking stupid.
Good to hear some people's houses survived like Bill Hader and James Woods. Lots of non celebrities have lost their houses though. Hope the insurance companies don't try to bilk them.
My good friend down in LA had to evacuate him and his family last night….scary shit man. (I know how you feel about the Lakers, he is their broadcast producer, but let’s send him some good S2 vibes)
Not a Lakers fan, but am a fan of not having peoples houses they have been in decades burn down no matter who they are. Glad they are safe, thoughts are with them. Hope they get these fires out quick and their house is spared.
I guess you'd call Nate Dogg a hired gun for hooks back in the 90s and 2000s? Real smooth voice that makes every song sound distinctly West Coast.
thanks john! We’re all good in mid city. Just Smokey at this point. My fiancé and her friend started getting donations so been helping deliver some of them around the areas.
