It took San Diego years to rebuild after the Yosemite Strike that nearly did us all in. They didn’t take a direct strike, but nearly a dozen different Yosemite Station modules survived reentry until they exploded less than a kilometer above the city. The airburst was, to borrow a big word from some of my friends, catastrophic. Ships capsized, skyways collapsed, and skyscrapers burned like torches. Then the Yosemite Surge caused by the ruins that landed in water came over the sea walls. It flooded the subways. It was not a good day for San Diego. And the Yosemite Winter that followed didn’t improve matters either.
