One more to go....
We’re getting plenty of water up here in NoCal also (we’re about an hour north of SF). We’re out in the county and our roadside ditches are about 3.5 ft deep. Normally they’re dry. Since yesterday, they are completely full and slopping over onto the roadside. Tomorrow, I’m sure there will be roadblocks on some of the flooded roads around here.
Typical “news” reporting. The folks in SoCal have been through this many times. My daughter lives in a canyon North of LA and says the roads are flooded but that’s really just about normal for el nino weather. 1000 homes out of a million isn’t much.
Believe it or not, people in Phoenix are buying sandbags!

I thought you were all going to die of thirst due to global warming?
What’s this with flooding? I mean, Al wouldn’t lie about that drought thing, would he?
The lowest pressure ever measured in the state is 28.85" Hg according to Chris Burt, author of Extreme Weather. As of this hour, the pressure is already 28.92" at Crescent City in the northernmost part of the state (and 28.88 on the Oregon coast). But tomorrow night is when the big storm swings in further south, and if you believe the NMM forecast model, it will be 28.80" on the central coast, breaking the all-time record (in other words, a stronger storm has not hit the state in recorded history!).
How's that drought working out for ya??
1 to go, Kimosabe?
