If you want to see his main Los Angeles murals, here's a nice easy route. This omits The Word and The Freeway Lady which are farther away and the murals destroyed on the freeways. It starts in the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles and ends in Hollywood. This is the most driving effective route. Nice places to eat on either end. You can add in Bob Hope Patriotic Hall but call for their hours.

USGS updates Los Angeles earthquake fault lines map - Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates

Article today in the LA Times about USGS updated the earthquake fault line map for Los Angeles County. I think this is the most recent one. It's not finalized yet.
Los Angeles earthquake fault line map, Mary Cummins, real estate appraiser


This second map only shows Hollywood. The fault lines continue in either direction but they are not in Hollywood which is why they are not on this map. Earthquake faults exist where the flats meet the mountains. That is how mountains are formed. The flat land is pushed under the mountain causing it to rise.This is Sunset Blvd. Original roads are generally made in the flats and go around the base of mountains as is the case with Sunset. This was the easiest route. Over time these dirt roads became paved streets. Anyone with any common sense would have realized Sunset Blvd or any place flats meet a mountain would be an earthquake fault line. I don't know why they are acting surprised.
Hollywood fault zone, Mary Cummins, real estate appraiser
Even if you don't live on a fault line you will still feel earthquakes and have damage depending upon how close you are to the fault, depth of quake and magnitude not to mention the type of structure you are in. I think these developers knew they were probably located over a fault line. I've seen unscrupulous developers knowingly build right on top of fault lines. I saw one developer who saw quartz rock coming up from a fissure on the property. That indicates a fault line and high pressure movement. He built right over it.

FEMA uses historical data to predict future flood zones, Mary Cummins


It seems FEMA uses historical flood data to predict future floods. This makes no sense. We know the sea levels are rising. This should be taken into account. If not, people will rebuild homes in flood zones which will not survive floods. This means that FEMA will have to pay for future damages.  More below.


Climate Change Impacts Absent from FEMA's Redrawn NYC Flood Maps

Scientists argue new FEMA flood maps may be too conservative because they don't consider future sea level rise, with implications for Sandy rebuilding.

Feb 6, 2013
FEMA released revised flood zone maps of New York City on January 28. FEMA released revised flood zone maps of New York City on January 28. A close-up of Coney Island, Brooklyn is pictured here.
When the federal government releasedupdated flood maps for the New York City region last week, residents were shocked to find that the number of houses and businesses in the region's flood zone had doubled since the maps were last revised, in 1986.

But it now appears that those maps might have underestimated the extent of New York's flood risk, because they don't factor in the effects of future climate change. Scientists say that by the 2080s, sea levels off the city's coast could rise by as much as five feet from melting glaciers, making storm surges more severe and causing floods much further inland than the new maps indicate.

The maps also don't incorporate data from Hurricane Sandy, which caused catastrophic flooding in the nation's financial capital. Many structures destroyed by the superstorm are not included in the newly drawn flood zones.

If future sea level rise had been taken into account, the flood zone would likely have been much larger, said Philip Orton, a physical oceanographer at theStevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, who served as a technical reviewer on the updated maps.

"The fear is that we'll get a meter [3.3 feet] of [sea level] rise by the end of the century, potentially more," Orton said. "People are rightfully concerned. ... The New York City area isn't ready for the storm surges of today, as we learned from Sandy, let alone what is possible in the future."
The omissions mean the maps already may be outdated—or will be very soon—some scientists said, with implications for Hurricane Sandy rebuilding efforts, as well as the city's plans for adapting to long-term climate change. The flood maps, which are produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), are used to set insurance requirements and building codes. If the New York maps are too conservative, property owners might be wasting their money by rebuilding in especially vulnerable areas or by adapting structures to meet standards that will have to be revised in a few years.

"Old statistics on flood risk are obsolete," said Kevin Trenberth, a distinguished senior scientist in the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). "Increasingly, [FEMA] should be looking ahead."

FEMA officials who spoke on background to InsideClimate News said future sea level rise wasn't included because the agency has traditionally used historical storm information to determine where flood zones should be set. Incorporating impending climate change simply wasn't part of the process.
