Has San Fran Sicko washed away yet? or at least the feces washed off the streets?

The flood has transfered all the feces and needles from the sidewalks into the living rooms.

Seattle Seahawks At San Francisco 49ers

 

This game could see Biblical-type rains as massive storms continue to hit the West Coast. More than 500,000 homes lost power in the most recent one, which caused the area to be littered with flood warnings from the National Weather Service. Saturday’s forecast calls for an 80% chance of rain with “steady” showers in the afternoon. Given this game is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. local time, that would exactly coincide with its time window.

One would think the 49ers would be a bit better equipped to handle such a situation. They run the ball at the seventh-highest rate in the league (48.14%), while the Seahawks rank 22nd there at 40.71%. Geno Smith has had a tough enough time passing on the Niners. He managed just 435 yards in two meetings, on 74 attempts (5.9 YPA).

The market has already begun to move on the under. After opening at 43.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook, the number has dipped to 42.5 pretty much across the market at the time of writing. Expect more movement toward the under if the forecasts persists.

NFL Wild Card Weather: 60 F, potentially heavy rain, winds 10 to 15 mph

Too many roads, parking lots, rooftops and other impermeable surfaces causes or contibutes to catestrophic runoff, along, of course, with denuded native vegitation.  Some of this could have been addressed by dams, levees, reserviors and detention ponds but those things are tough to implement in Califiornia due to regulations.

They are saying this atmospheric river is also due to climate change...so more regulations are coming!

Everything is nowadays.  Not an anomaly, not just a weird event.  Every single thing is now due to climate change.  When they start using that for everything people start tuning out.

I mean even hurricane season now is CC related.  Forget that it has been happening for ever.  Nope...Its your use of aquanet

Climate change, due to a rise in global temperature from co2 output, is increasing the intensity and frequency of natural disasters.

It's how the democrats run their politics. Same tactics. Until fairly recently they were calling it global warming. Too many reputable scientists were calling "bunk" on it. So in standard fashion, just like how they changed a "riot" into an "insurrection" after the first couple weeks of coverage of the whole selfie-fest, they changed 'global warming' into 'climate change'. 

This is all just leftist run political theater to keep their liberal voters in fear. And it works for them. So they will continue to do it even though there is no merit behind their tactics.

If they could figure out  way go make money off of it, you can bet all of those things would be implemented overnight. Regulations smegmalations.

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai 2022 Volcano Eruption is the cause. It shot tens of billions of gallons of water into the atmosphere. (Over 30 miles into the atmosphere) I read it will take up to 7 years for all the water to dissipate.

The Earth does as the Earth does just like it has been doing for the last 4.5 billion years. Homo sapiens have been around for a couple hundred thousand years and all of a sudden we are controlling the Earth? We will all be dead and gone and the Earth will still be fine until our Sun has it's say in the matter.

I just read a story about a 5-year-old little boy who got swept out of his mother's arms when their car got flooded. Really sad. Poor little guy.

The global weather models continue to signal what’s shaping up to be a powerful burst of westerly winds at around 35,000 to 40,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. These fast-paced winds travel at around the same height as cruising altitude of planes, giving them the appropriate name “jet stream” as they move from East Asia to the West Coast. Normally, these winds race up to around 70 to 80 mph, but every now and again they surpass 100 mph.

In the case of January’s jet stream, models are already signaling gusts that will likely exceed 200 mph over the next 6 to 10 days. These strong winds will quickly steer bursts of moisture from the warm tropical Pacific waters toward the West Coast at a rate that hasn’t been seen in years.

The last time a jet stream stemmed across the entire length of the Pacific Ocean with westerly winds of that magnitude was back in 2019, when the West Coast saw intense rain and snowfall and most of California was able to get out of extreme drought.

If this jet stream continues to bring strong westerly winds toward California for the next six to 10 days, the flow off the jet stream will help transport tropical moisture from as far away as Indonesia, becoming a unique type of atmospheric river commonly called a pineapple express.

A series of pineapple expresses — channeled into the West Coast by that strong jet stream — is slated to roll into the Bay Area and most of California over the next couple of weeks. This is going to raise the risk for excessive rainfall as storms tap into the moisture and are steered toward the Golden State. One storm after another will hit through the middle of the month, straining drainage systems across the state and raising the risk for extreme soil erosion — aka landslides — as rain falls on saturated ground.

we have an uncommon alignment where the jet stream is going straight across the pacific (instead of wiggling north into Seattle) AND its moving super fast.

i drove thru the areas in Santa Barbara that were flooded a few days ago.  all the water is gone, but there were piles of mud on the curbs and furniture tossed out waiting pickup.  some cars had mud all the way up to the windows, possibly totaled.  there were large construction crews doing hasty repairs of the 101, filling in enormous potholes with asphalt.  reduced to 1 lane.

Good that the water is gone but still a massive amount of cleanup work to do apparently.

Shouldn't they be praising these rains since they have been in such an extreme draught.  Won't this help fill the bodies of water that have been drying out?  I know we could use some more precipitation here in Iowa.  Out lakes and rivers are the lowest I think I've ever seen.

california has actively worked to eliminate reservoirs

hard to raise water prices when we have it stored.  Reason why San Diego county has the lowest water prices in the state, and dumps it into the ocean regularly, all cause california has a law that you cant pump water north

But Cali has no problem pumping all the water out of a lake in another state.

I have actually recently read the opposite of this. You got some links to back up your statements?

Saw a couple articles saying the reservoirs are filling up, fast.  So yeah, there is some positive to take from this.

Of course every single article makes sure to remind you that this is CLIMATE CHANGE!! DOOMSDAY!
