They just get butt hurt when we expose them as sissy boys.

Hey Cali...here's a real storm: http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2014/01/2013_flood_experts_describe_ho.html

We can and do easily look like that (El Nino of 1997/98), only it won't be one city - it'll be the northern half of the state. Not to mention the snow that can pile up in the High Sierra until its touching the roofs of houses (ever heard of the Donner Party?). You don't even know what it can do here.

Yeah, I bet you guys didn't know that over California, giant rivers float in the fucking sky, just waiting for the perfect time to ruin everything. They come crashing down without regard for the lives they will submerge, and ultimately destroy. There is no shortage of heartless ignorance with regard to California's plight.

So, why did you guys talk shit when I made fun of the "polar vortex bomb blast storm", but now you agree this "sky ocean" is equally ridiculous? You people make no sense.
There was no polar fucking bomb blast of epic destruction, and there is no raging torrent (RIVER) lurking in the SKIES above California either. All weather sensationalism is deserving of the death penalty. No one is reasonable anymore.

lol

Atmospheric rivers are a very real phenomenon, and aren't always producing mass hysteria in California.

That said, the scenarios involving a perfect atmospheric river precipitation scenario over California are very devastating. And while it's all fun and games to point and laugh at California any time we have the chance, the effects on this nation of a worst-case scenario would hit all of us.

See this, the ARkStorm, as dubbed by the USGS.

They aren't all bad. It's actually JUST like the Polar Vortex, however - what you fail to acknowledge is while the issue is misrepresented in common parlance, the actual issue and threat is very real.

When a lot of us face a "polar vortex," it is, well, a complete misnomer. The polar vortex stays around the polar region. When we get blasted with the worst winter weather ever, it is technically a completely breakdown in the polar vortex. It really isn't supposed to be a normal event, and as we all saw, it broke far too many damn records.

Atmospheric rivers are normal, and almost always present in the atmosphere.

Wasn't a big deal here. There was some shutdown of freeways and flooding some places.

Nothing yet here in Huntington Beach. Unfortunately have to work tomorrow so I hope it's not too crazy over here. We do need it though

All this worst storm in years stuff is funny because we haven't had a big storm in years. It's been an effing drought.

Thus why it's the worst in years.

It is supposed to be among the worst in a LONG time, not just looking back through the drought years.

My coworker said the streets are flooded now. I got too cocky and didnt drive my 4x4 to work, shit...

 

[olds]

Major slide north of SF, ETO, March. Last I heard anyway

 

[moonbogg]

Stepped in a puddle this morning. Also, was waken up at 3:30am with the following cell phone text alert, complete with annoying ring sound, "FLASH FLOOD WARNING! JESUS CHRIST FLASH FLOODS WATCH OUT!!"
Then the puddle event happened in the parking lot at work. I wonder how that cockroach that I saved is doing...

 

[IronWing]

Clouds forming here, humidity at 43%. Oh, this is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth?! I'm coming to join you, honey!

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Roads were pretty flooded this morning and cut down to 1 lane. About 20 minutes late to work. All of the people in SUVs were having fun gunning it through the flooded areas D:

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I think all the warm wind from California is blowing up this way to Oregon. It's 52 degrees at 9pm in the middle of the winter.

Middle of winter? It's not even the beginning of winter.

I feel happy for CA, getting much needed rain

Are you trying to say I should walk through this shit? I think fucking not. I'm staying inside until this blows over. Its not a river in the sky, but this still sucks I must admit.

You understand why they call flash floods, flash floods right?

You understand why they call flash floods, flash foods right?

This actually looks like a legit storm. They were showing it on the news, entire houses being swallowed up and shore lines being washed away. That must have been one hell of a torrential downpour to generate that much water in such a short time.

 

[Chaotic42]

Middle of winter? It's not even the beginning of winter.

It is the beginning of meteorological winter though.

 

[IronWing]

It is raining now, about a half inch so far. The sky is grey and the mountains are gone. How do people in wet climates not just kill themselves?
