I saw yesterday evening that evacuation orders had been issued for about 130,000 people.

Living here in the drought stricken state (with little noticeable effort to increase water storage) and observing the blind ambition of creating a High Speed Rail ("Racket" more like) system that was proposed as $6 billion just 7 or so years ago, before more accurate (and honest) costs were finally forecasted for the project to hit 100% of what the first estimates indicated... or were so promised to the public to further assist in passing proposition... so... I'm gonna say California is a part of another series of when politics go wrong.
