Rolls with it...
I'll start...

Highway 1, south of Big Sur @ Rat Creek, MM30, looks like it might be closed for a bit due to a slide.

True that ^, while any old native born after 1950 might still be waiting on the “ big one”, it does seem as though the effects of global warming are rapidly contributing to ever more catastrophic destruction of infrastructure. Katrina was a wake up no? Bakersfield or stilts?🤨

Lots more pictures here: https://bigsurkate.blog/ there are also photos of Cambria flooding, N/F road, Milpitas Rd and Indians. Crazy damage.

And I think the entire central valley will flood and turn into an estuary before the ocean cuts through the coast range. The new Hwy 1 will be on the western slope of the Sierra, I think.

if it keeps sinking... the levees in the sacramento area exist to prevent vast swaths of the central valley from being the marshlands they're supposed to be

I was thinking more of massive sea level rise coming in through the bays, but thinking about it, after I've had some coffee, there's a lot of topography and I'm probably wrong. That said, I believe the valley does continue to sink.

The valley has sunk, alot, due to pumping water out of the aquifer. Nature will win in the end. Unless humans just torch the planet with the “Venus Effect”.

Mr. Bad Example
In the theme of land sinking, some are now calling to use the Salinas River as a source of freshwater. Absolutely ridiciculous.

:facepalm

They aren't exactly telling residents to go to the river with buckets.... :laughing

I'm more worried about the Salinas 4Wheeling types... they'll be forced to head for golf courses since all the football fields have gone to fake turf.
