As El Nino grows, drought-stricken California braces for wild winter weather

I remember that El Niño. It RAINED. SoCal rainy season usually runs from Jan/Feb through April. It started in Dec and went into May if my memory is correct. For the rest of the country, that is a big deal here in SoCal. This is a desert land. And we don’t normally get rain other then in the winter/rainy season.

I was in the Marines that year and stationed on Camp Pendleton. Spent a lot of time in Oceanside area. Those rains were something else. Coming from New England, I was used to stormy weather in the winter time but I remember those rains just being relentless. Besides, one does not expect so much rain in sunny California.

I hope they get drenched again this coming winter. They need it.

The most conservative person I know is a woman who lives in San Francisco.
She is fighting the good fight there.

El Nino is making for a FANTASTIC albacore season in Oregon.

They won’t prepare since Brown doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Moonbeam, like the rest of his family has always known what he is doing...............the best he can to destroy the economy of and subjugate the people of California for the glory of gaia..............and queerdom.

IF El Nino and the rest of the Ninos take out Los Angeles and Hollywood, Oakland, even San Francisco, it will be worth the price of a clean-up.

Thanks for your good thoughts. Yes, we need the rain.

[Mike Darancette]

We’ll see what Joe Bastardi sez. I’ll bet the el Nino will be moderated by the blob of warm water off the West coast.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Thanks. Brings back memories.

“Then again, perhaps of California’s wickedness, they won’t get any rain.”

IF that were true, D.C. would already have burned to the ground. Most of the planet would be on fire.

God didn’t give us free will just to turn around and interfere with it.

I wouldn’t restrict my comments to California. Folks here need to look around them. Whether it’s natural disasters, economic destruction, political corruption, you name it, this country is basically in a state of collapse. It’s under God’s judgment, and unless this nation repents from its wickedness, it’s going to get much, much worse.

This country is only operating at half the level it was in 2008. We have real unemployment of something like 20%. We have millions of babies being murdered, cut up and sold, and our government encourages it and uses our money to support it. We have folks rioting in the streets, again being encouraged by our government. We have people losing their jobs, businesses and homes for their religious beliefs, while our media extols folks who rob liquor stores and attack policemen and calls them martyrs. The Deceiver and his allies feed us lies every day which are easily proven false, and yet everyone is deceived into thinking things are just great.

More mansions to slide off their precarious (but scenic) precipices - dang the weather caused by that glo-bul warming.

Thanks... now I gotta pee.
