Over the past couple of days local blog InBerkeley has posted not one, but TWO somewhat terrifying visuals of Berkeley succumbing to natural disaster.
First they put up a link to an interactive flood map. Did you know that when the sea rises 14 meters as a result of global warming everything west of San Pablo Avenue will be pretty much effed? Well, now you do. Then they put up a couple of (actually really interesting) newsreels showing the great Berkeley-burning fire of 1923. Despite that they are cool in a “Wow, look at these old time-y people doing old time-y things” kind of way, they still show Berkeley burning to the ground. And that’s a little scary.
Knock on wood about that huge friggin’ earthquake we’re due for.
