My wife and I were watching television yesterday around 4:27pm when the screen went black, the emergency alert system was beeping and a message in bright red came across the screen saying that there was an emergency warning for Santa Barbara County of an earthquake between 4:30pm and 7:30pm. We couldn’t find anything on the news about this other than someone posted the same thing on Facebook. Did anyone else see that? We have never seen anything like that before and of course it made us very paranoid for the next three hours that the big one was coming.
Earthquake Warning?

Looks like some works needs to be done on the alert system. The evacuation alert was supposed to go to those in the burn areas near Santa Maria. Another alert was for flash flood from the line of thunderstorms. There were two: one for Santa Maria and one for Santa Barbara. The earthquake early warning system, if and when it ever is implemented, in it’s current state, you’d get a few seconds or possibly as long a one or two minute “alert”, They’ve had two systems working in Japan for 10 years now. Once again, the US is not the world leader in an important piece of technology, and our so-called president wants to defund the project. A decade has proven that even a few seconds warning can save lives. Not cost effective, according to Trump.
Cuts in early warning system are intended to save money to pay for the Wall that anyone with a ladder and a coil of rope can get over. Yup, cost effective indeed.

It would be nice to see some growing up happening in the White House. Having adult leaders works a lot better than what we have now.
Anyone with a coil of rope and a ladder can “get over”? Sorry, but in my estimation, less than 20% of humanity could scale a 50 foot vertical face without toe or hand holds – we’re not talking about one of those “climbing” walls that have led most Millenials to believe they could summit Everest…
