First EVER hurricane alert issued for Central California as 97 PERCENT of state's population put under flood warning - as 'bomb cyclone' prepares to batter LA and millionaire playground of Santa Barbara - sparking emergency alert from Gov. Newsom

The second of back-to-back atmospheric rivers battered California on Sunday, prompting the first-ever warning for hurricane-force winds in the state's history.

California is bracing for what could be days of heavy rains, flooding on roads and knocking out power to nearly 800,000 people, with 97 percent of the state's population under flood warning.

The current 'bomb cyclone' - a term denoting a storm that rapidly intensifies over 24 hours - could dump more than 8 trillion gallons of precipitation on the state.

The storm inundated streets and brought down trees and electrical lines across the San Francisco Bay Area, where winds topped 60 mph in some areas, blowing what looked like a white flag of tarpaulin off a building. Gusts exceeding 80 mph were recorded in the mountains.

A video out of Los Angeles caught chilling images of planes flying into the city as they tried to navigate the terrible conditions.

In Southern California, officials warned of potentially devastating flooding and ordered evacuations for canyons that burned in recent wildfires that are at high risk for mud and debris flows.

The National Weather Service office for Los Angeles warned that 'all systems are go for one of the most dramatic weather days in recent memory.'

One Home Depot in Santa Barbara, which saw some of the worst of the chaos in videos posted online, sold out on sandbags and was instead offering customers potting soil and fertilizer.

'This storm is predicted to be one of the largest and most significant in our county´s history, and our goal is to get through it without any fatalities or any serious injuries,' Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters Saturday.

Classes were canceled Monday for schools across the county, which was devastated by mudslides caused by powerful storms in 2018.

Hey, take it up up with Dr. Franklin; he’s the one who thinks it’s a good idea to wipe out LA. I was just taking it to his logical conclusion.

That's not what I wrote. (See below) However, you do confirm that LA is a godless place.

"If a tidal wave were to hit LA, would we consider it devine retribution for its decadence?"

There’s a Flood watch for foothills East of SACRAMENTO yet the forecast calls for 3/4” - 1” rain over next 36 hrs.

Over Hype

Wow...8 trillion gallons of water...

Just think of how much we could fill all of our new reservoirs without letting most of that fresh water go out to sea.

Wait....what? Oh...never mind.

“And the climate cultists have been telling us the drought in California was permanent.....”

As soon as it is over, no matter how much rain they get, they will say it was not enough to end the drought.

The WPC calls this a Category 5 atmospheric river which could dump up to 15 inches of rain on coastal ranges, 6 feet of snow in mountains and bring hurricane-force wind gusts.

First ever but still never. It’s a lie. There is no hurricane and there is not going to be one. Just a normal wetter winter for the coast. Climate change fear mongering.

FINALLY! A commercial use for all of the human poop in San Francisco. The high-grade stuff for more expensive neighborhoods could be called the "Nancy Special".

“...as documented in detail by this week’s report from the U.N.-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the region may be entering a drier state. Drought season might be giving way to a drought era.?

You’re right as rain wildcard

The water goes straight out to sea. There are extremely few reservoirs so California will be back in a drought very soon. Of course it’s because of global warming.

“For the record, 8 trillion gallons of water is enough for 12 years of water for every residence in California”

Problem being 7 trillion gallons in all probability will now be referred to as the Pacific Ocean. And if the Green Fascist have their way and the Dams start coming down even less will be stored.

If that were to happen, the only people who I would save would be the FReeper California ping list.

Amen.

Not forgetting the Robinson family in Fresno.
