California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced during a press conference on Sunday that he is requesting a state of emergency from the White House as another round of storms targets the Golden State this week.
Severe storms in California knocked out power to over 560,000 homes on Sunday. Along with power outages, the state has faced several days of severe weather events and two more are scheduled to occur this week. The first storm is expected to begin Monday and go into the early morning hours on Tuesday, and the second storm will occur from Jan. 12-14. "We’ve been at this how many days and expect to see the worst of it still in front of us," Newsom said. "We’re anticipating some very intense weather coming in tomorrow, tomorrow evening in particular, into the early hours of Tuesday morning."
The governor and his team referred to these storms as atmospheric rivers, or storms that dump massive amounts of rain, causing flooding, mudslides, property damage and the loss of life.

Weather and weather which is not at all unprecedented.
Unfortunately, too may voters are too young to remember how many previous storm like this there have been in the last 50 years.
If we don’t get rain you need to give us money.
If we get rain you need to give us money.
Surprise, surprise, surprise. Gruesome Newsome needs more U.S. taxpayer money to spend. He already spent their 58 Billion dollar surplus, I guess.
He will use the money for reparations.
Hey Greaser, it’s just WEATHER. Has nothing to do with human activity, dumbass..
If the republicans don’t get their S together theres a very high probability of him being our next president.
It can happen. Beware.
We need the rain because we need the snowpack in the Sierras, Wasatch and Rockies because California is sucking the west dry with their swimming pools and golf courses. San Francisco can wash out to sea and take Governor Hair Gel with it for all I care… although his sinking will cause a major oil slick.
California has always been subject to extreme shifts in weather. Long droughts to sudden flooding. Before the levee systems were built and the tributaries to the Sacramento river dammed, the North valley where I live became a lake between the Sierras and the Sutter Buttes, nearly every late winter/early spring.
It’s been happening for centuries. Pay your own bills California.
Drought = climate change
Rain = climate change
its obvious these storms battering California are Russia's faut
Zelensky needs the money more than Newsome ! [/s]
( makes about as much sense )
He spent that surplus and another $25 billion. At least we got our “inflation relief checks.”
This is a totally normal part of long-term California weather cycles. Years of drought and below-average rain, followed by 1-2 winters of well above average rain.
Its why wild-fires are such a problem - brush growth is encouraged by wet cycles, followed by years of extreme dryness which provides kindling.
There, fixed it.
We need more reservoirs... we voted over $1 billion a few years back and nothing has been done to get started on the Sites reservoir. Concerns over salmon migration have held it up in court.
Climate change? These leftist are trying to control everyone with BS threats like they did in medieval times. Sadly those drooling in cups eat it up.
Normal weather = climate change.
Here's your assistance. God says you're welcome.
they new McGovernment would love to have Newsome up there as head racketeer
