WHAT I LEARNED AT LUNCHTIME

We’re as doomed as doomed can be. Maybe. I took my latest issue of Wired with me to lunch. In it is a roster of our country’s next disaster areas, “10 trouble spots you aren’t already worried about.” Is Dallas on there? You bet. No. 6:

The National Weather Service is worried about a tornado cluster over Dallas at rush hour. The fear: A big twister traps 87,000 people in their cars and causes nearly $3 billion in property damage, making it one of the most destructive tornadoes in US history. Likelihood: Medium. Dallas has dodged the bullet. So far. People affected: 5.7 million

Yikes. For you worrywarts out there, No. 1 is “Levee failure in the Sacramento Delta.”
