There's a global warming thread in the Off Topic section. It would be great if others join in.

Are you kidding? Even in the states it happens so infrequently because of the costs involved.
Great idea, but just try and get government to fund it. Not in our lifetime.

They're doing it in parts of San Diego. It has to be done right though, water is a problem. Especially with low voltage lines like telephone / DSL.

It's time to put this thread back on track: What are conditions like in BC and BCS because of Hurricane Odile?
Also, everyone please start spinning clockwise to counteract the cyclonic energy

Looking for the right place to post this but... If anyone in Los Angeles/Orange area is heading down with relief supplies and has room I can put
together a few boxes of gloves/masks/safety supplies and first aid. Or if you have an idea or where to drop them off...I think for Hurricane John I
took some to Long Beach airport.

The gummint says that SJD will reopen on October 8. Major airlines will resume their flights. I understand that in Cabo, the Walmart and the Home
Depot have reopened.
There is good and bad here. The good is that tens of thousands of jobs will be there for the locals to begin making money once again.
The bad news is that so much damage and destruction occurred to the dwellings of the locals.
That said, I recall back in the late eighties and early nineties a major build of hotels and resorts in Cabo was being done by workers who were
literally living in tar paper shacks.
I don't condone that in any way. But the fact that these folks will be making a wage will allow them to restore what they had.
