Tom, I don't mind the random shaker, as long as it don't make Escondido a beachfront community.
That would mean me swimming over to your place. If Escondido becomes beachfront, then poor old Oceanside would be in the new intertidal zone! Don't think my trains would be running then.

Homa Native American Indians look as if they going to get it right in the front door. It is a Cat 3 now and I hope it don't ramp up. Next up Hanna.....
Lookin' at the accuweather site it appears that NOLA is really gonna take a beatin. Katrina was a bigger & badder storm but this appears that NOLA is in for the worst section, northeast quandrant.

Bob after Katrina, there was a very short lived effort by some in the building and engineering professions to try and convince the powers that be to make a effort to raise the city of NO by imprting soil and grading it the same way new housing development are regraded out here, soil could be dredged, convevered and resettle in the old low lying neighborhood to get them above sea level, but given the billions $'s being spent overseas by the current administration, the absloute incompetency of FEMA at the time and the political retoric and fingerpointing being thrown around the state of Louisiana, it got tossed on the dumpheap pretty fast.
Pity as then right after the disaster would have been the best time, the city was vacant, and most all of the destroyed properties could have rebuilt on higher ground, those houses that survived could have been moved until the grading was done. Sad to say we will likely see another flooding disaster this time around once again because most people in authority in this country are idiots when it comes to disaster prevention. No one wants to spend a dime to prevent a problem that will cost a dollar to fix later.
At the very least if I had to live there and was going to build you can bet it would be on raised posts so the house was above the flood plain, seen this done along the Mississippi River after the floods of the 90's
Have fun with your trains
Yeah Bryon I hope it goes where they say. Been noticing feeder bands been hitn you over in Sunny FL..
Toad - Checked the boat just in case
I got you by 20 foot, according to Google Earth, says I'm 66 ft above sea level and you are at 46 ft, right where you plan to do your layout and train shed, there by the big tree on your lot.
This Park I live in is a designated Flood Zone, by county officials, after the storms of 2004.
Keep your head above water there Toad, I will try to also, with Hanna, it looks like, maybe later this week for here.....
William, looks like a pretty decent chance after it says hello to New Orleans it going to head your way. Track shows it headed toward east Texas so better get your hatched battened down.
New Orleans is right in the bullseye once again. At least this time no ones sticking around and hopefully FEMA isnt sitting around on its hands.
