I wonder how many people who abandoned their cars were already under water...

There's no water on the road. People in Cali just don't know how to drive.

Californians are apparently unaware of the physics of hydroplaning.

Most here can't find their windshield wiper controls.

In the winter we had two jet streams mix and gave huge amounts of rain in California and now we had a tropical storm with a lot of rain if that’s climate change count me in for more.

Can't see why anyone would need to 'race' to do anything.

Warnings were given hours before the arrival of what was in California a storm.

If you look at the advertising on the bench in the background, you will see it is state advertising for syphilis control.

The mayor is asking for federal assistance because the storm caused 30 million dollars worth of improvements.

Thank you for posting Sacajawea.

"they had plenty of warning....just get out of town....geez..."


It can't happen here. /sarc

Electric Vehicles May Present Major Problem During Natural Disaster Evacuations: Experts (8.11.22)

I suspect that a significant reason that Californians pay taxes is to keep desperate Democrats and RINOs in power.

Californians approved billions for new water storage. Why hasn’t it gotten built? (Non-FR; 1.16.23)

Democratic and Republican Trump supporters everywhere need to primary ALL incumbents in 2024 so that a new Trump-supporting Congress will actually do its constitutional duty to give Californians and citizens likewise. being oppressed in other activist states a republican form of government.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

“hydroplaning”

You hydroplane when driving eighty miles an hour in rain—who knew?

What about the drought that less than a year ago was going to take decades to recover from?

Why did these people leave their house to climb a tree? Gov Pomade declared an emergency and schools were cancelled. /S

The Golden State’s first tropical storm in 84 years,

At least they are acknowledging that this has happened before. I got freakin' tired of the "First one ever" BS being pushed all over the media.

Crashes all up and down the eastern states! Noone freaks out by claiming that cli ate change is the reason!

A couple decades ago I was driving on the freeway in Philadelphia, it was icy cold and began snowing. Lots of cars fishtailing and sliding/crashing into the side barriers, scary to watch. It was climate change - clear one day and snowing the next day. /s

because most Californians have their noses in their phones and pay no attention to the weather, and bitch about the rain in the winter...
