A dangerous storm system is slamming California, with meteorologists at the National Weather Service warning of imminent “widespread flooding, impassible roads, mudslides/landslides [and] rapid rises in rivers/creeks.” The system, which prompted the Weather Service to take the unusual step of urging residents to have “go bags” at the ready and prepare insurance documentation in advance, is set to unleash its harshest conditions Wednesday night into early Thursday.
Virtually the entirety of Northern and Central California is under flood watches and high-wind warnings, with damaging gusts to 60 mph possible. Strong to severe thunderstorms could be in the offing as well, in addition to 2 to 4 inches of rain in the lowlands and more in the mountains. In the highest terrain, the heavy rain will transition to up to 2 to 4 feet of heavy snow. Along the coast, beaches will be battered by large waves and areas of coastal flooding.

Biden called the BATF to investigate the bombing of California. /s

Anyone from the Bay Area remember the winter of 1985-86? We had 100 consecutive days where it rained every day.
I think they did actually declare the drought to be over during that time, at least for a couple of months.

So much for Global Warming.
Remembered well! Moved during one of the wetter storms that came through.
Reservoirs are filling up, here in NorCal. It’s da Bomb!
It’s looking like the winter of 2016=2017 again.
Overflowing dams, warnings of apocalypse.
Of course the winter of 82-83 did bring catastrophe.
Half the central valley was under water. A giant friggin lake.
Bomb cyclone? This being California, perhaps the editors missed the typo. It should be “bong” cyclone.
All droughts, or floods, or lack or surplus of either are clearly caused by gorebull warming
Don Pedro at 61% and they are letting as much water out as they can without flooding the lowlands.
“It should be “bong” cyclone.”
Well done
LOL! Done our driveway 4 times since Sunday. Light snow right now. Forecast indicates back and forth rain snow rain snow. That will be a mess. The Truckee is up pretty high currently.
Rejoice!
This is the same atmospheric river that usually points at the northwest all winter.
Just something else Seattle and San Francisco have in common, besides the drug encampments, crime, and crap on the streets.
All I hear is horrid weather news for damn near everyplace. Here in south east ny we’ve had maybe a bit of rain. It’s 60’degrees at the moment.
“Wiped clean by the wrath of God”
I got in trouble not being able to return to duty in Monterey because of all the mud slides and washed out roads one weekend. 86?
Droughts, fires, earthquakes, now floods.
