Here, they're usually brick with fired clay roof tiles too. Or brick
with reeds for roofing. I've seen several burn -- such a fire is very
hard to put out.

Notice the pictures on page 116 (beginning of article) and 122 ("With a
deafening crescendo"). Brick and fired clay is still not good enough
for that. Many of the houses are built of wood to be less intrusive.

Looking at the map (Fires in the West) on page 130, draw a line that
passes through the letter S in Seeley Lake, down the Wyoming/Idaho
border and curving West through Utah to the junction of California,
Nevada and Arizona, and another line from the California/Arizona/Mexico
boarder up the coast to Western Washington state, and while you're at
it, the area of southwestern Nevada - all of that is "earthquake
country". California has rules against brick construction because it
doesn't do well in seismic events. Choose your disaster...

One of the major problems with thunderstorms here is flash flooding.

There is that.

I got 0.54 inches/13 mm last night - while areas about 25 miles/40 km
Southeast got nearly 3 inches 76 mm out of the same series of storms.
More is expected tonight and through the weekend. Nearly all of the
"dry wash" road crossings where closed due to flooding.

Sounds like a bit of an over-reaction. ISTR hearing that in Aosta
(where _a lot_ of mountain gliding takes place) they don't start to
worry about gliding accident deaths unless there's more than two a
year. Except for the usual learning from any accident routine, of
course.

Not knowing how active they are (rate per million flying hours), it's
hard to say. Here, two fatals a year within a 50 mile radius would
have the FAA visiting airports in the area talking about safety. As it
is, the five FBOs at Deer Valley airport hold an average of an evening
presentation a year (meaning five or six a year at this one airport)
talking about flight safety.

Dutch motorways used to have a 60 (65?) km/h minimum but it was dropped
with some revision to the road rules perhaps a decade back. One still
sees the really big large _slow_ ``special transports'' signed as such
and with lots of orange blinky lights on occasion, though I'm not sure
what conditions trigger the blinky lights requirements now.

What does it here is "oversized load" - over 96 or 102 inch (2.43 or
2.59 meters) wide, or longer than 80 feet/24.4 meters. There's also a
height restriction (13.5 feet/4,11 meters), but the bridges usually
ignore the blinky lights and signs. "Slow" isn't that big of a factor,
as they usually can meet the posted minimums. Occasionally, yes, we
get something like a 100MVA transformer, or a steam turbine alternator
that has to go by road - but they're quite rare (last one I recall
hearing about was 3-4 years ago), and only travel on major highways
during the day with escorts, with frequent stops to get the he!! out
of the way of traffic.

It's taken ages for .nl to pick up on that. It's done per road with a
road sign that may or may not carry restrictions on when it is in effect

24/7. The only exceptions is within a quarter mile of a left exit
(we have few places where you exit to the left, rather than the right
mainly because the st00pid highway engineer is trying to save a few
coins).

40km/h or 25km/h, depending. And you can see 12 y/o kids driving the
heavy farm machinery -- there's an exception that allows that.

15 1/2 for a learners permit, and must be accompanied by a licensed
driver in the front seat. No, the 12 year-olds are not allowed to
drive on public land/roads. (Was I 12 when I did that? Perhaps.)

There was a bit of a spat where tractors with (multiple) trailers were
taking heavy loads accross the country on rural roads.

That varies by state, and I think they are legal on designated roads
here. I know that is the case in California.

Road trains otherwise aren't allowed, and it probably had tax-evading
properties as well. I can't recall if they made a law expressly
forbidding tricks like that, but at least the police started going
after the phenomenon.

Where they are allowed, they've still got to live within an overall
length restriction - which I think is 80 feet. Beyond that length,
they need the blinky lights escort vehicles which negate most of
the advantage of hauling dual trailers.
