The term was originally coined by researchers at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the early 1990’s
to describe the narrowness of the moisture plumes.

Indeed. Why, when “Pineapple Express” was already in use, and a hell of a lot more fun?

[FlyingEagle]

Atmospheric river. Very scary.

[Osage Orange]

Huh....moisture plumes.

Interesting

I prefer Atmospheric avalanche, or atmospheric apocalypse...Maybe atmospheric attack!

I was hiking in the Santa Cruz Mountains today and the Adobe Creek that starts on Black Mountain was really roaring.

This next storm has a high wind warning on Tues & Weds, too.

Your efforts here are noble but I have to wonder if you also play chess with pigeons? :)

[FlingWingFlyer]

I like to punch the moron who came up with the retarded term, “atmospheric river”. Geez.

[Getready]

Media trying to change implication of what used to be called “sequence of heavy rainstorms”....anything for a catchy headline. Most of media “suckophants” need to be put out to pasture and never heard of again.

[Boomer]

Forty days and forty nights?

De ja vu all over again.

[Repeal The 17th]

No matter what you call it...
The phenomenon is a common event.
The western states rely on them for water.
Otherwise it would all be a desert.

...a storm by any other name...
...will still cause the rivers to rise...
(apologies to Shakespeare)

after reviewing the comments, again and again over years, and other sites, what strikes me more than anything is the bitterness people have toward their fellow citizens, regardless of party affiliations. a lot of unhappy people wishing the worst for others. not to mention the often complete ignorance about a situation, but they post none-the-less. now I understand how the vikings could get off a boat pretty much anywhere, and slash away. it’s really sick. i’m look forward to moving far away, where people know how to live.

Can’t happen to a more deserving state based on their masively corrupt govts

Why would you think that way? The only people that are going to get hurt by this are the regular folks. The rich and politically connected "elites" will be kicking back in whichever of their mansions is the least affected, and the government isn't going to spend one moment or a dime helping any of the little people. This will literally affect none of them. It will cause the commies no pain, nor cost the commies any money. Hell, Newsome just got back from his Mexican vacation.

So exactly why would you be happy about this? Because you think your fight is with regular Americans who live in California?

[wildcard_redneck]

I prefer the term “enema hose” over all others because it washes sh!t into the sea.

[dblshot]

Apparently God is conservative and PO’d.

[pas]

All of california is now under epa control with the navigable waters.

H/T to doorgunner69


Retread decided to take on doorgunner69 (and FReepers in general)
"Brave" enough to poke its head out for all to see
(and obviously NOT sticking to his/her/its word, "never coming here again")

If the Pajaro overflows it will devastate Mexico’s native population....
