So how are we all faring here in the face of this deadly NorCal storm?
Since my house didn't blow away and I still have power I'm doing a cookathon laundry extravaganza!
nope, not living up to the hype - just another “big” rainstorm - pretty windy at times, but not crazy. Rain has been steady and moderate for about 12 hours, heavy for about 30 minutes just a bit ago here in Rocklin CA. A few trees down here and there. No power outages at home or work - internet and phone are fine. The drive into work was nice as there was very light traffic because the STORMAGEDDON WARNINGS!!!!! over the past couple of days.
ho hum
I think because we don’t deal with it often. And then the road gets greasy and slippery.
I hate the fast lane on the 10 just before downtown LA. It always floods. The traffic going the opposite way sprays water all over the windshield.
Then you hit a BIG puddle of water and you are floating at high speed ... no brakes, no nothing!
post of the day! thanks for a great laugh!
Well, after a long, long drought, when it rains, the water just runs off ... it doesn’t sink in.
Guy on the radio said only in the 20s was a longer drought.
I heard the cataclysmic report this morning, this storm is the worst to hit California in the past "HALF DECADE" (aka, five years but we all know that)........LOL!
I'm forever amazed (but not surprised) at the MSM's attempt to add drama to naturally occurring events.........sheesh!
Have the FEMA trucks shown up yet?
Just checked the caltrans web cams for the Tahoe area. Rain. Squaw/Alpine upper areas snow. Lodge areas, rain. Local wx folks in Reno seem to be indicating that the wind “event” is mostly over here and precip maybe after midnight.
They might have to go to an indoor mall and loot Forever Twentyone or something
The rain will arrive later on tonight(Around 1AM) so you will be fine..I was in Santa Monica yesterday at the Volkswagon dealership checking out the Jetta(The one on 25th street and Santa Monica Blvd) and your right, slippery roads, people driving too fast..disaster waiting to happen..early this morning a woman was killed near the Beverly Center by a garbage truck and its not even raining
Lee Vining, reminds me of my favorite movie “Out of the Past”. The highway sign pointing to Lee Vining is in the opening credits of the movie.
A fan of the movie made this video of scenes from the movie:

LOL
I hope it turns out okay
I’ve never made Cuban stew before and baking is not my strong suit
Attempting Cuban bread too
We’ll see
No Sharknado sightings. Yet.
I’m near June Lake. Just wind here so far. Storm is supposed to hit us tonight with a couple of feet of snow and 140 mph winds at the higher elevations.
As someone residing in the Seattle area; I do kinda groan when people in CA are in hysterics over rain.
No joke.
Going to Costco. Seems fine to me.
#14 You will be fined by the state for using mother natures water for your own use.
Ha! How inconsiderate of me.
First the consumer must prove that green and lush lawn were from rain, and not regulated water from a hose. Until proof is establish, the consumer will still be subject to fines and state sanctions.
