    Visited a news site in the !SoCal hometown. In the past four days, four murders and multiple attempted murders. I guess this is murder week.

    Teams message from work colleague: I hope you and your family were not affected by flooding in $CITY.

    I contacted a relative who lives in that part of !SoCal to ask. I knew there were random flooded areas across #San_Bernardino and #Riverside Counties.

    Relative: much of the city had flooding Sunday, but not today or yesterday.

    Whenever the Dodgers play either !SoCal competitor ( the #Angels or the Padres ), it is like when your Little League team plays your brother's team. You always want your team to win, but whenever the other family team plays a different team, you want the family team to win.

    #NOAA / #NWS has been sending alerts for severe #t-storms with heavy rainfall and flash flooding most of today, covering much of #San_Bernardino County and parts of #Riverside County in !SoCal.

    A couple of those alerts covered areas near me. My personal phone got alerted for #flash_floods, but my work phone (which was also with me) did not. This illustrates why people should get NOAA weather alert radios for their homes and other places where they spend a lot of time. (NOTE: Your $EMPLOYER may not allow you to set one up at the workplace.)

    The alerts transmitted by mobile carriers are not dependable. In some areas, one carrier will have service and another will not. In other areas, multiple carriers may have service, but only one will alert. In still other areas, multiple carriers will transmit alerts, but there may be a few minutes between carriers.

    They used to cost around $40 at Walmart. You have to find out the NOAA alert code for your county and enter it into the radio. Then, when it picks up the code, it will emit a loud beeping noise, then switch on the audio of the nearest NOAA weather radio station ... which should be describing the alert details.

    In some places, the county-level alerts are not very helpful. San Bernardino County is one of those places, because the county is the largest in the lower 48 states, and covers an area from Montclair to Needles (multiple hours of driving apart from each other). But in most of the rest of the country, they are very helpful. For example, Wayne County, #MI (Detroit area) is relatively compact, so a weather alert there is likely relevant.

    California's Governor Newsom makes cautious step toward meeting the state's water needs. https://nu.federati.net/url/287349 [www latimes com]

    It is a tiny step, but #California is never going to catch up with its demand with these baby steps. There needs to be a massive statewide effort to meet 100% of projected water requirements for the next fifty years via #desalination. That includes residential, agricultural, industrial, plus supplementing natural rainfall to preserve forests and replenish ground water, and some extra water which can be made available for neighboring states' needs.

    I feel like these #pollies are so busy trying not to displease entrenched interests that they are missing a historic opportunity to lead the way in responding to a 22 year drought that currently affects a giant chunk of the US from California to Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and beyond.

    They mention that the IE in !SoCal is a problem for them. However, I am hearing that some of that area's local high schools are sending a big chunk of their graduates (and non-graduates who aged out) to #Inland_Empire ${NASDAQ[AMZN]} warehouses.

    I sincerely hope that the IE job market forces them to change, with better-paid unionized employees and no more need to piss in a bottle to avoid being docked for non-productivity.

    But above all, I want the national environment (social and legal) to change, so that such behavior is curbed by threat of long and expensive lawsuits, breakup orders, fines, and large numbers of people refusing to work for them.
