I wonder if they will give it a name, maybe a pronoun. | |||

River of slime?  I heard the local weather guy here talking about an "Level 4 Atmospheric River" the last couple of days too. I'd never heard that phrase before. When I was in Portland they called it a "Pineapple Express". | |||

All this weather-naming bullshit is an attempt to further the fallacy of climate change. Give something…ANYTHING…an official sounding name and it all of a sudden becomes “important”. Along with the Lamestreet Media, weather “reporting” has now jumped on the “sensationalize EVERYTHING” bandwagon to the point I’ve stopped paying attention. I’ll think for myself, thank you very much… "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Well, it is a local/regional news item to be sure… in my area we average 12” a year, or so. So multiple inches at one time IS a relatively big event… Now, if it were to reoccur a couple of times then some more significant flooding may occur. I think we are a long way from that. | |||

Seriously? That's been every climate alarmist and weather meteorologists favorite Winter weather word for the last decade at least. Every time there was rain storm in the Bay Area that lasted more than 2-days and originated from a tropical area, 'we've got a atmospheric river headed our way...' If the storm came from the north and off the jet stream, it was 'affects of global warming' | |||

I take full responsibility. I looked at the weather forecast last week and only saw one day of rain in the forecast. I said to myself, “That’s not enough!” I then proceeded to wash, wax and detail my car. Voila! Two weeks of rain! Remember when this was called El Niño? | |||

Not just the media. I was reading about Norway today and found this on Wikipedia: Norway has the second highest: Human Development Index ranking inequality-adjusted ranking per 2021 Norway ranked first: the World Happiness Report the OECD Better Life Index the Index of Public Integrity the Freedom Index the Democracy Index The heck does any of that mean? Rhetorical of course because I don’t care, but people came up with these things. Governments, academia, and others. | |||

Could you at least have washed your car so the rain happened on my day off? It's forecast to rain everyday except the one day I'm off work.

Is there a vaccine that can protect us from the rain? Will rain hats, boots and coats be mandatory at all times? Hopefully Newsome will let California know. | |||

Exactly. 1 to 3 inches of rain happens about a dozen times a year here. Give it a category or name when the amount is in feet not inches.

Norway? The same country that is prosecuting, with a possible three year prison sentence, a lesbian filmmaker because she posted that a biological male cannot be a lesbian. IOW, accept the feminine penis during sex or go to jail. Freedom indeed. Those rankings are horseshit propagated by organizations that wish to confuse real freedom with oppression and leftist conformity with freeedom. As for atmospheric rivers, we used to just say that the jet stream has taken a southerly track, but that doesn’t sound unusual enough for sound bite sensationalism. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Whatever you call it, I've never seen flooding like this in our area...  | |||

Looks like NOLA after a summer thunderstorm. On the gulf coast ten inches of rain is not uncommon. How much rain did you get? | |||

That doesn't seem like rain flooding per se. As in a river flooded over a dyke. Flooding in cities because the sewage / drainage system clogged is just poor planning / design.

Landed at SFO today in this stuff. Pilot had to earn it, weather was biting back. Drive home sucked. Tons of water and dipshits on the road. Heard they closed the 101 south a few hours ago around there. Not my problem. Landlord wanted me to put her sandbags around where the house touches the foundation Wednesday. Impossible to do from Texas, unless of course SHE did it. I want things too in this life. I'm not doing it now after the place without the gutter has dug a big hole where the skunk/racoons/cats fight for shelter under the house, and it's a swamp out there. It rained on the plane since we were an hour away from SFO and it's still coming steady. Biggest puddles in the street so far I've seen in 3 years. I pay the kids to do pushups and run around the block in this kinda thing, so hopefully their flight lands before it's over. Still dry inside. So we got that going for us. | |||
