You'd think that. But this is what happened after this last weekend's storm: Sewage floods entire Bay Area street, 'littered with toilet paper and fecal matter'
Granted, this was in Pacifica, not San Franfreako.
“How long can you tread water?”
OH NO!!! The feces smell will be washed out to the bay.
Is it going to wash all the poo away?
WED NIGHT
SW winds 30 to 40 kt. Seas 19 to 34 ft. Scattered
showers and tstms.
It was that windy last week here in southern Ohio.. And it was -4 degrees..!
“The impacts will include widespread flooding, roads washing out, hillside collapsing, trees down (potentially full groves), widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life. This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously.”
WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!
Here in the south bay they’re predicting a total of 2 inches of rain for Wednesday and Thursday and max winds of 20mph.
When the drought ends, it ends with a vengeance. The article forgot to mention that the extra water will be very good for fishing.
5.3 ain’t major, but it ain’t chopped liver either.
“It was a pretty bas storm on Saturday, we’ll see if this one is worse, but no need for hysteria.”
Our yard guy, a legal citizen and our yard man for 3+ decades cut his annual Mexico vacation short because his for pay weather predicting system is predicting a really bad storm. He, his heir and 2 extra guys were here on New Year’s day cleaning/removing brush that has fallen in recently.
Our roofer will be inspecting our gutters and installing leaf shedding protector/shields for our gutters this afternoon.
Our construction and maintenance guy has cancelled any new jobs or projects. He told his crew to standby for whatever/whenever is needed for the rest of this week after today.
We spent close to 10K to renew the drainage systems in our yard and around our house. So far they have worked very well. This will be the acid test.
Flood warnings are up and down our area with property and roads near the river and streams.
So we could go from a severe drought to severe flooding in a few days. Our reservoirs need to be flushed out by heavy rain and refilled with more heavy rain.
I thought the state was still saying the drought is getting worse?
“Atmospheric River...the horror!”
You have to give the propaganda language engineers credit the way they come up with new terms to scare the useful idiots.
What amazes me is how quickly it becomes mainstream.
Should help refill the reservoirs, at least.
I can’t disagree with that — “Bomb Cyclone,” “Polar Vortex,” “Atmospheric River,” etc. All very scary sounding names and lots of hype.
But, as a 45 year resident of the Bay Area, this report reads factual and non-hysterical. The warnings are real — moving cattle out of pastures, people in the mountains getting out, watching for flooded areas, etc.
The low areas on all the freeways around the Bay flood in events like this. The parking lot at Trader Joe’s in San Mateo was completely flooded and the water was up to the undercarriage on the cars in the lot.
We’ve owned exactly one rental property back around 1982 in Scotts Valley on a private mountain road. The winter of ‘82-’83 was like this one and washed out our road. The water coming off the mountain washed a 4 ft wide by 6 ft deep gully right down our road. On top of that, the tenant was a criminal (not figuratively, he really was a criminal with a long hot sheet) and he destroyed the place and stole all of the appliances and fixtures.
Not to mention Twinkies the size of the empire state building.🤪
I think that will be my new saying!
Bomb Cyclone?
My town has the areas that flood all the time too.
Most importantly what is the name of this new storm?
This is how droughts end
