17. Low lying and beach front areas, but not all of Santa Cruz. |
|
No need to exaggerate what's happening. Downtown is low, so they evacuated that but there is a LOT of town that is nowhere near any problems.
Yes, the harbor looks like a mess.

get smushed.
The media is trying to OMG this, make it all OMG and sexy so people will keep watching. It is what it is, a mess in some places but not OMG for most of it. Have you heard from Crescent City yet?

22. My son lives in Oakland. Has that area been affected? |
|
I haven't been there since he moved to his job. I'm a little worried. Tried to call him but was unable to reach him.

24. He should be just fine. |

Oakland in on the bay side, not ocean side. I am just a block from the SF bay side directly across from Oakland and everything so far is just fine. Not to worry!
