Red Flag Warning on most of North California

You have a water shortage? In the ocean?

The amount of energy it would take to fly cargo planes over all those areas is about impossible. Plus they would have to do it on days that's dry, which is alot of days.
Also salt water would ruin plants and the soil

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

werent they working on purifying it some how so this would be possible though

There's desalination plants and the navy has a ship that can turn a bunch of salt water into fresh water. But our capacity in California is limited and it's expensive and energy intensive

Some of y'all responses.

Time to do some rain chants

it's over

i was hoping to move out of cali, specifically the bay but the wife wants to stay

 

[Ozymandeas]

Thought that said North Carolina

Same here

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

We already have a water shortage

Border a major body of water and have a water shortage, California brehs

Dumping SALT water on land isn't a great idea

Then purify the water first

Where u wanna move though?

i was in Cali years ago and stayed in Big Sur.
i saw entire mountain sides blackened by fire, it was surreal.
the amount of water it would take to soak it against fire is unimaginable.
how much water can a plane or chopper really carry?
as for the "dump salt water on it" suggestion...after Rome defeated Carthage
they sewed the land with salt so that nothing would grow there again.
i thought this shyt was common knowledge. and yes, the process of desalination
is energy heavy. i just don't get why they don't just let the sea water evaporate in

containers into another container thus leaving behind the salt...


it would cost zero energy other than what the sun provides for evaporation.

but what do i know?

 

[ABlackMan]

It's literally a cheap weed killer lol. Good luck growing anything including grass afterwards

It has to be desalinated

So how they grew OG

i looked at a few states and i like colorado, illinois or tennessee.

Ever have thoughts of jumping off of bixby bridge?

speaking of fires a couple of years ago most of Ventura burned but it’s all grown back

We could do it if we put our heads to it, but it won't get done because there's not that much money to be made.... Yet lol

I imagine when we hit mad max status making fresh water will be as valuable a skill as any

 

[Bud Bundy]

Someone smarter than me would have to explain why ocean water wouldnt be effective as a pre measure to avoid fires, cause i also dont get it

The salt from the water will fukk up the soil

Them firefighters got they Raptors and boats to pay for, they lighting something up
