Dang and as soon as I say no problem... BAM.
I think it will still be minor in comparison to CA.
Bush’s fault.
Unless Trump has been in office long enough that everything is now Trump’s fault.
Maybe some of it could make its way to the Salton sea?
Let the Desert Bloom with a million flowers.
it has been seriously pelting the Cali San Fernando Valley area for the last few hours, with flash flood warning in place for another couple. i think it is dropping about 1/2 inch an hour and blowing hard too.
Don’t go near washes and steer clear of slot canyons.
In San Diego I live on the third floor about 500 yards back from the beach, the wind is really blowing, pretty good wind all day but about 3 it really started to howl, they say 50 - 60 mph at the coast tonight and I believe it, rains are to begin at 5.
I’m ready. Got my beer on ice and plenty of food, and if the electricity goes as it tends to in my neighborhood my Kindle is fully charged and full of books.
I see stupid California drivers speeding in the rain all the time. Good thing drive time is about 5 mph or the accidents would be in the hundreds.
Wellll now it has become 0.4 in of rain and 27 mph winds and is coming in 12 hours later than expected. The storms always arrive a day later than the early week forcast predicts and the rain generally is a fraction of that predicted.
So if they can't get it right five days in advance, how the hell do they predict climate change decades from now?
Current projections are that most of the moisture will be wrung out before the storm reaches NM and west Texas.

I’ve long thought that it would be a grand idea for some of the states prone to drought to create a series of cavernous cisterns along the major flood routes. That is, mine some deep, gigantic caverns in hard rock, lined to reduce seepage, and put great drains on the bottom, and once they are at capacity with flood water, slowly and methodically filter out the silt, salts and detritus.
Think of it as a below ground dam reservoir.
Hard pan here is at about 6 inches. Rain typically falls, pools in low areas and sits there until it evaporates. Some sections of road are likely to be submerged for a week.
Last summer we bought a truck & 5th-wheel and were planning t spend the winter WARM!
Didn’t work out and it’s been colder than normal for most of the winter and now this.
Guess I’m glad we didn’t go after all.
Some times bad things aren’t so bad after all.
Southern Califoria has had steady pouring rain since 11am today. Blowing sideways at times when I was out.
