Major California Storm Incoming!!!

California will empty all the reservoirs and complain about drought next year

oroville!~

A pretty significant Atmospheric River with a core of 955mb will hit California sometime Wednesday through Thursday night. Potentially becoming a “Bomb Cyclone”. Which means a rapid pressure drop in the core of the storm. With this, expect wind gusts potentially gusting over 60mph in widespread areas with torrential flooding possible pretty much everywhere, except the further south you go towards SoCal. Travel is not recommended for anyone at this time. This storm will potentially be deadly and potential for severe flooding in many places. This pattern of powerful Atmospheric Rivers will continue through the next 16 days potentially.

CONGRATZ ON THE PINE BABE..SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMEZ. UH.

California Department of Water Resources will empty all the reservoirs for the $$$$$$$$, and then complain about the drought next year.

Don't include the rest of us in that decision.

they wanted water, they got it

I grew up there. We called it rain. Nowdays they call it something dramatic like last years polar vortex. Lmao

There is a storm brewing in my bowels right now from that bean burrito I wolfed down for lunch.

Yep. I have lived in California for all of my 60 years.

I moved to Nor Cal when I was 23 and the weather here is x 100 nastier than So Cal weather.

Not a problem, but the anointed California water merchants have become obsessed with greed. DWR has no problem drowning people due to mismanagement if it means they can rake in a few more bucks.

The water mismanagement in California is seriously criminal.

We just had a thunderstorm and rain blow through in west Michigan, in January! I don’t remember every seeing that in my life here, and i am over 60, ten days ago we had 2 feet of snow on the ground and it is all gone

So weird

Maybe it will wash all the shit out of the streets?

Thanks for the info OP.

Have friends in North Cali that I'm really worried about.

Maybe it will wash all the shit out of the streets?

My 96 year old grandma lives between Sacramento and Truckee. I'm thinking she will just get a lot of snow?

They complain about drought all year snd now we’re gonna hear them moan about flooding?

Probably gonna be an earthquake anyways.

Kharma is a c nt.

The closer to the Sierras the more snow, is she east of highway 50?

It's 60* and sunny now in southern IN, who needs California?

Correct, in wet years, by Spring some major reservoirs have had the equivalent of 3x their capacity at full pool released for no other reason than there is still substantial unmelted snow in the Sierra Nevada that is coming and they have no place to put the water.

Stupid fuckers.

No new surface water storage built in CA SINCE 1976!!!!!!!!

First off, Hwy 50 runs East-West, so that doesn't make sense.

East of Placerville as one climbs into the foothills and towards Kyburz the better the chances of snow v. rain, depending on the storm.

The poster's grandma lives "between Sacramento and Truckee." That is off I-80, not Hwy 50, and that's a lot of territory that includes flatlanders.

East of Emigrant Gap towards Truckee on the 80 chances are better of snow v. rain, again depending on the storm.
