Anybody in the path of this storm, or have friends/family in the impacted area?
My son and I were just visiting my old college dorm roommate last weekend in Sierra Madre (near Pasadena). Little did we know that this thing was inbound. He is currently in the last stages of completing his preparations.
supposedly we're on the outskirts of this one. Unless it shifts one way, or another. Our daughter on the other hand well, they're still dealing with the last rain's flooding that washed out the 2 small bridges over the river. The bridges were, or use to be a short narrow span into the hills of the southern sierra nevadas. So they're keeping an eye on things.
My sister lives in San Diego.
Downgraded to a Category 1. We might get lucky.
We? Most of us live in Colorado. Some in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.Quote:

This storm is 600 miles wide.

Looks less ominous than the storm we had in the metro area last week. Attachment 94515
A friend in San Diego sent this picture of the Sunset Saturday night.
Clouds starting to come in.
And, yes, that is the actual view from his front window.

Lock her up!
I keep thinking of all those homeless in Vegas that live in those big concrete culverts. I was at Edwards AFB in 1979 and there were temporary lakes in the desert with millions of birds. All kinds of birds.
They just had an 5.1 earthquake.
The end is nigh!
What does Los Angeles have on Hilary? Storms, earthquake and tornado.

Went out to see the damage this morning and found a Tacoma similar to mine buried up to the axles. Looks like the guy was trying to drive up the flood waters. Could see he tried to self rescue with a high lift jack. Amazing people have little to no sense. Where he was trying to get to the water would have been over my head by the high water marks. Lucky he got stuck where it was wide and some what flat.
While I realize this was special to ya'll out West, the fact is this landed as a tropical storm, and not a Hurricane, and so while this may still be a pretty unique thing, it's not THAT unique. It's a storm. I'm sure you all have been through a storm before?
But of course the Liberal Media, will have you know, this is a foreshadowing of the end times, and just the beginning of the hell of the rest of your life, if you don't atone now, NOW, and become a tree hugging (but not burning) person.

So, yeah, this is kinda special and rare - even if the impact isn't particularly destructive.
I mean, it's just a storm, to San Diego, Los Angeles, etc.
Nothing to fear, except weather.
The media, are blowing this out of proportion.
A Hurricane is hitting California!
Bullshit.

it's not bs in some areas of ca, az and nev. I despise the entire climate change, chicken little folks. Knowing people in all 3 states. They're not getting just "a lot of rain" .Quote:

It's kinda like it's a recession when you know someone out of work. It's a depression when your out of work. I was just at a neighbors house that had 6 inches of water in His living room. I suppose it's a bigger deal to him.
It's a fucking non event. Fake news.Quote:
