LMAO,, I was just about to post how pleasant this poster was fron England.
A beautifull kind caring person and I`ve met a few people from England just as nice.

I was just gonna post how Americans dont understand what a great people you all are because of their misconceptions of the crown.

And then asshat showed up.

When things have been so the dry the ground doe not absorb the water quickly like most think it should but does not work that way. Its going to run off. The creeks and rivers and reserviors will fill yes. A slow steady rain is whats needed. I haop that is the case. The current conditions of the land in the surrounding area if there's to much rain too fast are going to be cause for concern. This could get really bad. Take care all...!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure hope those are millimeters and not centimeters! If centimeters this storm would make Sandy look like minor drizzle.

Damnit, was walking with the dog this am and a gentle rain was coming down, nothing to worry about. Just looked outside at the side of my house and I have approximately 4-5 inches of water standing next to the house. There is a break in the rain for now and hopefully this river will run off but standing water is a drag for sure.

Series of strong storms will bring heavy precipitation to the west coast
Posted by Lindsey Ozment on November 28, 2012
The west coast will continue to experience heavy rainfall today and through the weekend as a series of low pressure systems continue to move through the area.

At this time a low pressure system is starting to impact the west coast, extending from California to southern Washington. As it edges along the coastline, rainfall will continue to occur while this storm rotates a lifts to the north throughout the day. Northern and central California can expect precipitation amounts today around 1/4 of an inch to 1 1/2 inches, with activity peaking around mid afternoon before subsiding slightly this evening.


As this system begins to lift, plenty of moisture will be in place before another stronger low pressure system moves in beginning on Thursday. This second low pressure system will remain quasi-stationary for the next few days before lifting into the Alaskan Gulf, resulting in a shortwave trough moving onshore.

Precipitation totals from today into Monday will be substantial. Northern California is expected to receive the most rainfall, with totals reaching up to 15 inches. Farther north along the coast, in Oregon and Washington, places such as New Port, OR and Seattle, WA could see rainfall totals anywhere from 3 to 6 inches. Snowfall should be expected in areas of higher elevation, especially along the Sierra and Cascade ranges. Periods of moderate to heavy snowfall are possible today through the weekend in northern California, mainly for areas above 4500 feet, where totals could be anywhere between 4-8 inches per day.


Winds of 35-45 mph will continue to be strong through the weekend with these storms, and with the large amounts of rainfall, conditions will continue to become very dangerous. As the week progresses, the potential for flooding will increase as well. We will continue to monitor the situation closely, and update the blog with more information as this situation continues to develop.

Did any of the naysayers come on after Sandy and admit THEY were wrong?

Sandy was bad, is still causing major problems. And we never hear a WORD from those who were on here telling people to "chill" and quit freaking everyone out.
