Ja.  I noticed something cool: I put my own street address, it returned some
numbers, then I put in city only and discovered the numbers were similar but
not identical.  This is cool, they put some thought into it.

Regarding looking forward to 2050, since we are told the planet is warming,
the risk there is dropping over time.

I did notice however there are big risks right around here that are not
climate related.  The biggest one is probably earthquake, as we have been
reminded so often this year: we had a cluster of them last week epicentered
right at the local reservoir up the hill from here (there is a big strike
slip portion of the Calaveras up there, which is why the reservoir formed
there to start with.)  If the Calaveras decides to raise hell, we are in
trouble, but not as much trouble as we will be if the mostly peaceful riots
get out of hand.
