Okay, this is starting to get really weird. First, we had a “thousand year storm” which caused catastrophic flooding in San Diego. Subsequently, a “Pineapple Express” storm absolutely soaked the entire state on Wednesday and Thursday. Now, a “bomb cyclone” is in the process of dumping 8 trillion gallons of rain on California over the course of approximately 48 hours. We are being told that there will be “life threatening flooding” all over the state, and in the mountains there will be massive amounts of snow in some areas. Do you remember when the state of California was hit by a series of devastating atmospheric rivers in December 2022 and January 2023? Well, now it is happening again, and the storm that we are witnessing at this moment is being called a “monster”. In fact, it is so large that 94 percent of the population of the state is at risk of experiencing life-threatening flooding…

A fierce winter storm fueled by a raging atmospheric river was thrashing Californians on Sunday with intense downpours, threatening treacherous flooding and hurricane-force winds − even in major urban areas.
Up to 37 million people, about 94% of the state’s population, were at risk for life-threatening floods from the storm, Accuweather meteorologists warned. The atmospheric river − like a river in the sky − is the second to pound the state in recent days, but forecasters said this storm would be the season’s most potent, particularly in Southern California.
In addition to staggering amounts of rain, this storm is also lashing the state with immensely powerful winds.
It is being reported that the National Weather Service has actually issued “a rare hurricane-force wind warning for the Central Coast”…
The National Weather Service issued a rare hurricane-force wind warning for the Central Coast: Wind gusts up to 92 mph were possible from the Monterey Peninsula to the northern section of San Luis Obispo County.
Apparently this is the first time that such a warning has ever been issued for that particular area…
The NWS office in the Bay Area issued its first-ever Hurricane-Force Wind Warning for the waters off parts of the Central California coast, where mariners could encounter wind gusts over hurricane force (74-plus mph).
That is interesting.
That is very interesting.
It isn’t too often that the words “hurricane” and “California” are used together in the same sentence.
According to weather researcher Ryan Maue, this storm is also being classified as a “bomb cyclone”…
Weather researcher Ryan Maue said the ‘bomb cyclone’ – a term denoting a storm that rapidly intensifies over 24 hours – could dump more than 8 trillion gallons of precipitation on the state.
He likened the amount to the volume of Lake Mead – 8.5 trillion gallons.
Just think about that for a moment.
The equivalent of Lake Mead is being dropped on California in just a 48 hour period.
That is going to cause a lot of damage.
A number of counties have already issued either an evacuation order or an evacuation warning…
Evacuation warnings and orders were in effect for Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Ventura and Monterey counties. Classes were canceled Monday for schools across Santa Barbara County.
“This storm is predicted to be one of the largest and most significant in our county’s history and our goal is to get through it without any fatalities or any serious injuries,” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said.
We are being told that some parts of Los Angeles could see more rain during this storm than they usually do in an entire year.
In the mountains, the big problem will be snow.
Apparently some areas could literally get more than four feet of snow, and it is being reported that very rapid snowfall plus extremely strong winds “will lead to whiteout conditions”…
