California Weather: From Bad To Freakishly Bad This Week!

California has been getting "weather". As in, inches of rain in days, in places that usually get inches in a YEAR. It is going to be possibly VERY MUCH WORSE this week. The high mountains are looking at TENS of feet of snow and 100-200MPH winds. The lower lying areas will be looking for 3-20"+ of rain on ground that is already saturated from last week's rain.

ALL of california. All week. NONE of the forecasting models show this as even slightly in doubt. The jetstream is going to be blowing in at 220knots at 8,000 feet. Make that, instead of 6 to 11 miles high, the jetstream will be coming in at a mile and a half high. It is blowing over El Nino's warm Pacific waters and picking up epic amounts of water as it comes. The military is moving assets out of the area.

If you get 10 feet of snow on a mountain and then a warm storm, you may suddenly have 10" of snow over several (dozen? hundred?) square MILES of land. All coming down several thousand feet of slope just as fast as gravity can pull it.

When they say on the radio there is a strong possibility of flooding, it is a euphemism. There is a strong possibility of The Land of Fruits and Nuts being washed right off the map. Highways washed out, whole cities falling to mudslides, and the harbors unusable for bringing in relief effort/supplies/whatever. There is a chance that the major ports of entry for EVERYTHING that the USA imports will be closed due to heavy damage for quite some time.

The country is not prepared for the negative economic impact it may see after the next two weeks of weather in California. Stand by to stand by, you heard it here first.

Excuse me for noticing, but California and espeicially the Bay Area (near/around San Francisco) are home to some of the morally-worst people in the world*. If you see reports of widespread death and destruction, especially in San Franfreako, remember: The same God that destroyed Sodom, Gomorrah, and all the surrounding cities and the well-watered plain of Jordan nearby, is still on the throne.
