Thank you my friend! This one will be a historic storm!

Storms on the west coast, storms aiming for Louisiana and the south, storms aiming for Britain

...winter 2012 shaping up to be a doozy

thanks for the info Luis!

This could be epic...

Heavy rainfall can trigger earthquakes in what one scientist calls "disaster triggering disaster."

whoa

I didn't know that

good doomy info!

+1 :)

I just remembered

wasn't there this thread here recently?

Thread: WOW - Tues 11/27 - Haarp really puting the DEEP RED to California...today.. again

Anyone with more knowledge on the matter...related?

Ugh... I hope the levees stay intact. The house is so close to one my husband could probably land a ball in the water with an 8 or 9 iron.

I'm sure commuting will be a delight...

I do too! The collapse or failure of the levee system is the worst case scenario. I will bet for sure that this are will experience some sort of flooding, due to the increased level of local streams and rivers.

Oh, and commuting? Uggg..accidents, flooding...erk. I-80. 99 and 50 are sure to be messes.

"I will bet for sure that people will experience some sort of flooding..."

Not sure what happened there when I was typong, sorry!

There have been helicopters and what look like chemtrails in sky all over sf Bay Area recently (related?)

No shit, I heard a super loud helicopter over the east bay today and yesterday my neighbor and I were looking,at a chemtrail from horizon to horizon that had to have been at least 50 yards wide, probably more.

Hi neighbor. Fortunately they put rock in recently to help with erosion in our area.

I get to deal with the 4 and 680. 4 is bad enuf dry.

Stay safe!!

I'm partying it up with a Mt. Dew and some chocolate tonight! LOL

Anyhow, another good one, Luisport! You rock!

Everyone, stay safe!!!!!!

Reminds me of the mid 90s. I lived in San Francisco, a friend who worked on an oil tanker had seen the radar "The shit is going to hit the fan". Not a peep on the news or in the paper.

House shook all night from the wind, in the morning the big gusts hit, trees bent flat to the ground. Then the power went out. It was not long after thanksgiving, had left over pie that had to be finished off quickly.

Power was out for two days. The winds stripped the bark off the trees in GG park and partly destroyed a 100 year old glass house. Winds hit over 100mph in some higher areas.

Walked the park with no cars and hardly any people. The roads and paths where all blocked by fallen trees. They lost a few thousand trees in the park. Falling trees took out the power feed to the much of the Richmond which happened to run along the park.

Downtown was a disaster, scaffolding ripped away from buildings. News paper boxes scattered everywhere.

Wonder if it will be another storm like that?

The picture says it all...

Sandy came ashore at 970mb the system off the coast of California is at 963mb.

Where did you find that number? I didn't understand the picture you posted. Explain please

Thanks for the video, it was informative. a very scary part was acting like people could rely on the government agencies- read FEMA. Anyone in the area, get flod insurance now. Some people were still dealing with the FEMA rigamarole after Katrina last year-5 years later!

Not good!!!!!

The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm system...something I learned here on GLP...:-)

It's not good.

First flood watch just posted for parts of northern Calif. in advance of prolonged heavy rain event starting Wed: [link to wxch.nl]

The reprieve from the stormy weather along the West Coast will come to an abrupt end tomorrow, leading to yet another stretch of rainy conditions.

It has been a rather wet and stormy month of November in many places from San Francisco to Seattle. Most locations are at or above their normal precipitation for the month and more rain is on the way.

High pressure in control of the weather over the past several days has led to a return of dry, sunnier weather, but a potent storm system lurks off the coast.

As this storms pushes eastward, residents from Los Angeles to Portland will need the umbrella on Wednesday. After a brief break on Wednesday night, a soaker of a day is in store for Thursday, especially along the coast.

The persistent flow of storms is expected to continue into the weekend with the heaviest precipitation focused in northern California.

With the flow off the Pacific and a lack of cold air to the north, snow levels will remain above pass level. While snowfall will be lacking in many places, the rainfall will not. Flooding can occur in places, especially the Sacramento Valley.

Locations in California can receive over 5 inches of rain through the weekend with local amounts up to 9 inches!

As with most strong western storms, wind will be an issue along the immediate coast. Wind gusts can peak over 50 mph by Wednesday night and Thursday.

Looking ahead, the weather pattern should turn a little less stormy by the beginning of next week although it can still shower at times.
