More than 9,000 California residents were under evacuation orders Friday as a new atmospheric river brought heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds, swelling rivers and creeks and flooding several major highways during the morning commute.
In Santa Cruz County, a creek bloated by rain destroyed a portion of Main Street in Soquel, a town of 10,000 people, isolating several neighborhoods.

And remember California is where our FR servers are located, so if for no other reason, say a prayer for those that are suffering.

It Never Rains in Southern California

Atmospheric Rivers indeed! That sounds like either a fern bar or an aftershave colonge.
I just saw, Kernville is dangerously flooded. The Kern River crested and there are mandatory evacuations. We used to camp along that river several times per year.
One thing is for sure, if it keeps flooding the climate alarmists cannot say “This is the most flooding in recorded history!”
It’s not new and it’s not a euphemism.
Where else would unicorns paddle their kayaks?
“Atmospheric”. Subliminal code for “CLIMATE CHANGE”.
“” atmospheric river,” The new euphemism for “rain.” Language keeps changing —keep in mind who controls and is changing it.”

They certainly do come up with some interesting descriptions of what we used to call either “summer storms” or “winter storms”. It’s become rather comical. I remember several years ago when I first heard “Polar Vortex”, and thinking “What the heck?” It was the usual once-a-year winter storm coming down from the extreme north and then moving down across the nation, bring snow, then sleet, then freezing rain once in arrived in the south. The way they hyped it, you would have thought such had never happened before.
No wonder young people are suffering from “climate anxiety”. Each normal seasonal weather occurrence is presented as a “first ever” and an historical storm that has never happened before. And every storm must be named and assigned not only pronouns but previously unused adjectives as well.
El Nino is predicted.
El Niño’s storm track affects the location of jet streams. Instead of coming ashore in the Pacific Northwest, the southern jet stream hits California with increased rainfall that is typically accompanied by floods, landslides and coastal erosion.
Like the man said. Enjoy the weather, its the only weather you got.
Used to be called the Pineapple Express. This is when the “Hawaiian High” pressure breaks down as it does and swings storms south and the “tail” of the storms can be seen off and around Hawaii. This happens about once every few years and then large break down like this about once every thirty to forty years.
It’s not unheard of.
I used to work with a couple meteorologists and also Surfline.com.

All along the kern River valley is under evacuation. And more rain late tonight into tomorrow and more on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It was coined by climate researchers from MIT when they discovered them.
30 year old technology is not “new”

La Nina just left, el Nino has not cranked up yet..

This is normal.
It happens this strong every few decades. Nothing new for, for example, Soquel.
