Newsome has allowed this water opportunity to slip right through his fingers, being too busy telling other states that we wont do business with them because they don’t support extreme leftist agenda.
Yeah. Oregon gets this all of the time.
Governor Hairdo says to get high and self medicate the weather problems away.
Coined in the 90s - when Al Gore was just warming up....
For as long as records have been kept, California, with its periodic episodes of droughts and floods, has hit with occasional deluges of thunderstorms coming from the area of Hawaii. It was called the “Pineapple Express”. That name clearly isn’t scary enough. It sounds almost good (like in great for farming).
So, now it’s “Atmospheric Rivers”. That’s still probably not scary enough. How about “Deluge Bombs”?
Remember the Christmas floods of 1964?
Thanks for the link. When I worked in Gold Beach, OR in the late 70s, there were still some markers on various buildings showing the highwater level of the Rogue River during the floods.
We lived up on a hill outside of Orick. We had a house full of people staying with us.
Had to look at a map to see where Orick is. I’ve driven through there long ago, but I must have blinked and missed it.
We have those all over in Florida. Especially along the rivers like the Suwannee. We had one we put on our house back in 2008. We could have rowed a canoe in our house. Talk about fast moving people trying to get furniture and electronics up off the floor! Ever try to lift a full length couch with recliners on both ends up two feet onto cinder blocks? Ain’t easy! We had 8” of rain in a 45 min. period and we didn’t live in a flood zone... we just happen to be the lowest piece of land in the neighborhood.
Indeed the media would be at a loss without a thesaurus.
If you can’t baffle with BS dazzle them with words.
And nobody gets what the Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi River systems get nearly each year.
Just say that anything east of the foothills of the Rockies.
They’ll flush the excess into the ocean rather than filling reservoirs. Let Newsom pay for it out his aunt’s crafty stock deals.
I like the spritz of Pineapple juice. Your dad sound like a fun one.
Funny isn’t it( or sad) they changed names to fit the climate change narrative of some event that happens all the time.”Atmospheric river” sounds more ominous that”Pineapple Express.” They have to sell the climate change fantasy
Just goes to prove that there is big money to be made and even bigger power to be achieved in preserving and maintaining the "drought panic" out here.
An “atmospheric river” is a “rainstorm” with a press agent.
Yeah. A few years ago, the networks started adding “X million people effected” to the weather report. They never gave a rip about fly-over country’s weather until they could incorporate it into their climate change narrative. And folks just dealt with it. It’s the weather.
Well...the Pineapple Express can look pretty impressive on Doppler radar. And when you’re at ground zero, and have 100+ foot trees, and steep hills all around town, it warrants attention.
Not diminishing in any way what's been going on out here (particularly in Placer County where I am) since Christmas, I just find this "hyper language" a bit amusing. Cheers!
