Out here in the Bay Area it never freezes and we have mild temp all year round. Rarely does it hit triple digit temps and there basically no humidity. Convertible weather year round.

Hope that CP member from Florida who's always bashing on California is staying safe if there is a Hurricane.

Earthquakes out here ain't no joke though.

I hope you enjoyed your nearly two weeks of forced power conservation “Flex Alerts”, resulting from California’s epic failure of a power grid.

How many times has Florida been devastated by hurricanes? How many of those have resulted in significant power outages for large numbers of people? Why hasn't Florida "fixed the grid" to deal with a recurring weather phenomenon?

I never lost power once, but this was the longest and hottest heat wave on record in California. Over 1000 heat records were broken. This is a much more rare weather phenomenon than hurricanes in Florida, why aren't you calling out your own state?

I’ve lived in South Florida for nearly 40 years… including during Hurricane Andrew… and I’ve lost power maybe for a cumulative total of 48 hours.

And I have never once had to deal with getting frantic text alerts from the state’s power operator, pleading to conserve power with the threat of blackouts as happened in California during their alleged “heat wave” a few weeks ago.

Yes, it was a myth, successfully propagated around the country. Busted.

I don't even have heat or AC in my place, lol - don't need it in SD. Living by the ocean in SD is the epitome of weather perfection, IMHO.

Even if someone can’t afford a place to live there, at least the weather is nice for when they are homeless.
