“If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building,”

Thank you Captain Obvious

The weather situation in Los Angeles is like nothing ever seen in history, a total inversion of reality and everything known to the human race.

Great! Maybe now California can put out fires using water or will they open all the valves and drain their reservoirs.

[mythenjoseph]

There are no buildings due to the fires!....lol

“If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building,” the Weather Service warned in statement.

It used to be just a figure of speech to refer to someone as being too dumb to come in out of the rain. Might be the norm now, if such a warning is necessary.

[Karliner]

IOW a rain storm.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

You beat me to it.

“Great! Maybe now California can put out fires using water or will they open all the valves and drain their reservoirs.”

No more fires. Gavin is finished with his land grab.

An "atmospheric river" is first cousin to a "polar vortex."

[Yo-Yo]

How much you wanna bet that Kalifornia’s dams are “under repair” and won’t hold back this rainfall water, but instead just let it all dump into the Pacific?

[Billthedrill]

Yup. Or a polar vortex. Or a catastrophic white puffy murder cloud.

We had a light rain here the other day...It was called an atmospheric creek......
