Well because this damn storm, I’ve been placed on call without being on call. So basically I have to be available but not paid to do so unless called into action. Anything for the community! Mostly jk, I’d be happy for the OT, but if I’m going in then it must be real bad and people are suffering so I wouldn’t be happy about that. Also, surfs up Dave! Gonna shred the gnar? 
They say some areas are no longer in a drought because of the wet winter, but I’m guessing that won’t last long as they haven’t added more infrastructure to store water… ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

Chinatown is the best SoCal/water movie. I'll watch it whenever it's on. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

Flooding will be the biggest issue, especially in the desert areas, dry lakes, some already have water that haven't in years so this will add several inches, on the bright side, it could wash down all the streets and culverts cleaning them up. Looks like it will be at Tropical Storm level winds, 30 mph gusts when it hits land, the water levels are cooling as it moves north. | |||

It should help fill Tulare Lake to the top! Maybe it will flow to the sea. It’s going to be tough for folks in Corcoran or Stratford, CA. 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 | |||

The mudslides will put out the wildfires. So there’s an upside When I worked in downtown San Francisco for 15 years I welcomed the occasional good downpour. Washed away all the urine and feces smell for a few days. I’m sure downtown LA could use same from mother nature’s pressure washing. | |||

The part SoCal that I'm in had nothing going on at all. It was waaaaaaay over-hyped and no worse than any other Winter storm. Some places had flooding but those places always have trouble so there was nothing special about this storm. No power outages, trees falling or swift water rescues other than the same dumbfucks who always are in the LA River and venture in or never leave. Palm Springs did get punched pretty good but they caught more of the storm and there's no real place for runoff. Trees may fall in a few days from saturated soil but that's normal. They are closing schools because of... I don't know why. There is no weather emergency that requires it. Roads and businesses are open as usual, at least today. People were panic buying like it was COVID and local Walmart and Costco were out of water and TP. These same people should have an emergency kit but apparently not. It's a 24 hr storm. | |||

San Diego report for Sunday, Aug. 20: Persistent rain all afternoon and into the early evening. Short intervals of quite heavy rain. As of now, Apple Weather says 1.7” in the last 24 hours. Pretty windy in that same interval. Every time I looked at Apple Weather I saw wind speeds of 15 to 20 MPH. Currently: no rain, moderate 6 MPH winds. Serious about crackers | |||

SOP for Hurricanes, panic shoppers, school closings, tons of media coverage with WAGD news casts. Thing is at least here, you really can't ignore them from the standpoint that these storms can do a lot of damage, not just from high winds but massive amount of downpours, so you just have to endure the media hype and watch what's going on. Good for So Cal that it reduced down significantly from it's original strength. Wonder if these storms will become a bit more normal for that area...This message has been edited.

Wasn’t too bad where I was, saw some down branches and some areas with some flooding, but just like any heavy rainy day. I already had a family gathering and we still got together, kids played in the rain. Not too far from the earthquake either, but house just rolled back n forth for a few seconds. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

Under 2 inches of rain in 24 hours and 15-20mph winds, gusts to 30? Around here, we call that "Tuesday". For years the media has been pounding the whole southern-California drought situation into our ears, and now that it's finally raining a little the sky is falling  . | |||

Yes, the San Diego area suffered little damage. That was the point of my post. Serious about crackers | |||

Change in weather patterns that historically move them across Mexico that remains, allowing them to move north like Hillary. Temp changes in the ocean, too many straws in the water, Maybe all the reduced carbon footprint from less ICE vehicles, combined with increased electricity demand from the required EV vehicles and the heat from reflection off solar panels are changing the weather pattern of SoCal Or maybe all those giant Windmills are pulling so much air they are changing the direction of the jet stream wouldn't that be ironic... | |||
