The National Weather Service is warning that the storm hitting Southern California on Sunday could be the strongest since 2010, prompting at least two cities in burn-scarred areas to issue evacuation notices in advance of heavy rain, flooding and possible mudslides.
Light rain was falling across the region Sunday morning, with more intense rain expected as the day progresses. The heaviest rain was expected Sunday afternoon and evening.

Moonbeam says , “Kool”
Will try to figure out a way to tax it; and by the way citizens do not collect any rain water for you own use. It belongs to the state.
Praise God for the rain. Our drought is ending!!
May those in harms way be protected.
As Franklin Graham said in his Inaugural Prayer... Rain is a sign of blessing from God.
Meh. Nature and stuff.
“But when it pours, man it pours.”
Oh gasp! The worst in SEVEN WHOLE YEARS! Wow! Oh noes! The same mentality that panics on the Stock Exchange if the numbers are down for one quarter. What happened to the concept of the 100 year storm?
I work with a grower near Fresno who in 2014 spent $700,000 just to dig a new water well.
I doubt they need it now
The Great Flood of 1862 was the largest flood in the recorded history of Oregon, Nevada, and California, occurring from December 1861 to January 1862. It was preceded by weeks of continuous rains and snows in the very high elevations that began in Oregon in November 1861 and continued into January 1862. This was followed by a record amount of rain from January 9–12, and contributed to a flood that extended from the Columbia River southward in western Oregon, and through California to San Diego, and extended as far inland as Idaho in the Washington Territory, Nevada and Utah in the Utah Territory, and Arizona in the western New Mexico Territory. Immense snowfalls in the mountains of the far western United States caused more flooding in Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, and Sonora, Mexico the following spring and summer as the snow melted.
The event was capped by a warm intense storm that melted the high snow load. The resulting snow-melt flooded valleys, inundated or swept away towns, mills, dams, flumes, houses, fences, and domestic animals, and ruined fields
5.1” last night and 3.93” night before last in a wino county north of gay frisco.
More than that in the counties just north and west of here.
A younger female relative living in a couple of counties east of gay frisco, caught a drought nazi thug in his truck driving around apparently looking for someone wasting water like washing their car or water their lawns.
She got out of her truck with her Smart Phone and started taking pictures of him doing his drought nazi monitoring.
He got out of his truck and asked her what she was doing.
She told him that if he was doing his old drought nazi job after the drought is over, he should be fired. He got back into his truck and fled the scene.
The state drought Nazis are apparently saying we need 8-10 years of rain like this year to be over the drought.
Does this mean we’re all gonna die...AGAIN??? Or maybe just the Californians?
Not sure that the water could be piped to where it was needed, instead of being dumped, but still...
Born and raised in California. I moved away at age 27. We had droughts. We had deluge. When there was drought, we conserved, but always had water in the reservoirs. We never heard of the Delta Smelt, the Three specked marsh frog. Whatever else. I moved out the year some farmer had his entire operation shut down because of some kangaroo rat was found nesting on his field. That’s when I am really thankful I moved. I miss the geography but the place is a dysfunctional mess.
You can see the map of the California drought as well as other parts of the US at http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ .
If those cities are ‘sanctuaries’ then ICE should be standing right outside the boundaries and load ‘em into trucks as they leave their little safe zones.
fascinating. Thanks!
