Ideally we'd experience long seasons of moderate rainfall with the ability to slowly re-charge groundwater and fill reservoirs. Intense, pounding storms like this saturate the soil quickly, then become runoff which causes erosion and flooding before washing out to sea. They also cause property and infrastructure damage, especially when they include intense wind that blows against trees that are now growing in very very wet soil, toppling them. 14 days of moderate-to-heavy rainfall with lots of wind will possibly refill reservoirs, but the damage and loss of life associated with it is pretty bad.

you guys remember those massive storms we had in early 2017? apparently the rain we received from them was enough to take care of the drought. then we had nearly 5 years of dry weather even worse than the y ears before

Erosion makes the state become smaller, and thus require less water.

Local news here might as well be copy-pasting the "Hwy 1 closed due to slides" stories, because they run one after every rainy day now

It is because Hwy 1 is frequently closed due to slides after it rains.

A few years back PCH at Temescal was shut down for a day or so because the people living on the hillside at the corner had left their hose on when they went away for the weekend. PCH had to be cleared and they had to have the hill rebuilt so their house could stay.

My union hosed up negotiating with CalHR so fukn bad lol, we got completely shut out of a contract last year, they're now offering us a lovely 2.5% raise, and this now guarantees we'll be seeing furloughs anyway. Great job union, you couldn't even get us a third of inflation and you're going to roll over for the furlough because the governor has a D by his name

On Saturday night, the wind blew over a 30-foot tree in my front yard, crushed our a few panels of our 2-month old fence, and landed in my neighbor's pool. Spent all Sunday morning chainsawing it up and cleaning up the neighbor's pool. The root system was tangled with a couple trees next to it, so I have to spend $900 to have them taken down so they don't crush someone or a car next gust of wind. Good times.

Yowza, that's a beefy tree! Glad it only hit replaceable stuff. Here in SLO a driver tried to cross a creek that had become a ford and had their car swept away with their kid still in it. Onlookers pulled the driver out, but rescuers can't find the car.  Happened at 7:45 this morning, so it was probably somebody trying to get their kid to daycare so they could go to work. This storm has been in the forecast for a week and we should have had a loving 2020-level lockdown announced last night.Stay home and stay safe goons, if you can.

We were in Tahoe last week for like our first family vacation in years and got snowed in for an extra day after the 2' of snow on Twin Bridges Wednesday night. We had to scramble to find a pet-friendly hotel since we had our lab. Got moved into our hotel and the power promptly went out for a few hours  We were able to make it out via 50 without issue around Friday at noon. No chain control, but lots of cars over the summit, as expected. We drive by that big fuckoff boulder that was in the westbound lane when we were going into Tahoe on Monday. Holy poo poo that thing was massive. It's a minor miracle that it didn't kill anyone and destroy the road.Oh yeah, I took our older kids skiing at Heavenly on Tuesday. 1.5h wait for rentals. The whole Nevada side was closed due to a power outage, and the Gondola was closed. So we had to wait 2.5h in line for a shuttle over to the California Lodge. We were on the mountain 2 hours before they kicked us out and had to wait another 2h for the shuttle back to Heavenly village. Only 10 of like 47 lifts open and only 1/3 of the trails were open. Lift lines were massive and it felt like they didn't limit the amount of people on the mountain. My watch app said we were actively skiing for a whopping 55 minutes. $850 down the toilet. Heavenly is a cool place to ski, but that was by far the worst skiing experience I've ever had.

Yep, that's definitely the play. We had originally planned on picking them up the night prior since they don't charge extra if it's after 3pm, but we got too busy. On another note, finally got my $750 Gavbux card in the mail. The ATMs around me only dispense $20s, and have a $400 daily limit.

Since the big windy storm moved in on Wednesday my apartment has lacked power for a cumulative 36 or so hours, and lacked internet for maybe 50 hours. Every day at my job we're telling everyone to check the roads and not risk their safety if they can't get in easily, and it's so loving hard to get things done. And the sequence of storms doesn't really let up until the 20th.
