To me, all of these options look to lead to the eventual closing of the company.
since then Ive been looking into what my plans are. I would say that any closure of the business is at minimum 6-8 months out, most likely a year or two.
I could stay where I am at, but if I were to sell my house and move to another state I could most likely pay cash for a house with the equity from the sale of this one,which is a huge plus.
Im considering moving to south-eastern texas, but I know nothing about texas other than its 2A / car mod friendly, and has a similar climate as so-cal exept for it actually rains there. i have 2 younger children (15 / 13) and Im looking for information as to good / safe locations to live that are not far from the nearest city, away from tornado prone areas and known flood areas.
Can anyone offer some info on this?

Okay, and you do recall that the State of Texas has a proven screwed up electrical grid? Consider going north. No tornadoes in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Washington. Lower cost of living there than in California and the laws are not as screwed up as California. No summer heat in those four states as one would have in New Mexico and Arizona.
Machine shop. Pacific Northwest...Boeing and hundreds of aerospace related machine shops. Lower housing costs. A 700K So Cal 1500 square foot home would buy a 3500 square foot home or larger in any of those four states. No humidity, no adverse weather either. Unlike the north east, only a trace of snow from time to time. I could list more.
