pail Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Praise be with Him. http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-live-powerful-storms-moving-l-area-strongest-storm-in-years-taking-aim-at-1487305729-htmlstory.html The storm is expected to dump up to 6 inches of rain on Los Angeles County beaches and valleys and 5 to 10 inches on south-facing foothills and coastal mountain slopes, according to the National Weather Service . A flash flood watch has been issued for Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties from Friday morning through Saturday morning. Much of that rainfall is expected to fall within a short time Friday afternoon and evening, with rain potentially falling at a rate of more than an inch an hour, forecasters said. “The Friday morning commute is definitely going to be wet,” but the rain is just going to get heavier as the day progresses, said Kathy Hoxsie, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. "The afternoon commute is going to be a mess,” Hoxsie said. “Hopefully people can take a half day off. Being a Friday, I know a lot of people do that anyway. … The evening is shaping up to be nasty.”
André Toulon Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 LOL, California. I used to get 6-7 inches for like 6 months straight. They need to stop bitching and catch that shit.
scoobdog Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 LOL, California. I used to get 6-7 inches for like 6 months straight. They need to stop bitching and catch that shit. We do, actually. In fact, there's a leeching field 6 miles up river from me. The problem is that you can't capture all that water when it falls on paved or developed areas.
scoobdog Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 i think its a mudslide issue Believe it or not, I'm in a flash flood watch, and I'm also about 5-6 miles from the ocean. For this particularly storm, it's that amount of water falling on endless stretches of asphalt and cement that would lead to the storm drain system getting overloaded.

To be fair, I'm not one of the people with the Cali hateboner.....I was born there.....Most of my dad's family still lives there. I visit every other summer. Still, I just remember the last time I was out there and it rained and I was like "y'all scared of THIS shit"
scoobdog Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I don't get the fear either. Of course, I don't live out in the inland areas where someone inevitsbly manages to get caught in a flash flood and occasionally drowns in it. That's probably the thing, we don't get enough of those thunder cells for the average idiot to know how to deal with flash flooding. Just crossing the five miles from work to home this afternoon I encountered a river going down a side street I've never seen flooded before. I crossed it, And in retrospect, I realize I had no way of knowing if it was deep enough to have an undercurrent before I plowed through.
naraku360 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Punishing them by providing drought relief? The horror! The HORROR!
enad Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 i think its a mudslide issue As it often does my mind immediately went to gay porn.
NaBarney Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 If that Russian plant makes Calexit a reality, all the US would have to do to siege them into returning to the fold is withhold all the water they take from surrounding states.

That's not happening. The worst it will get is Uncle Jerry withholding federal taxes.
