Rain in California!!

[pRoFiT]

California has been getting really good rain this year. I'm at work and afraid to go home. I hear thunder outside and heavy rain!!!

Luckily building has backup gens and i have huge APC UPS on my pc at work. Pays to own APC. One of many companies my work purchased.

I was just about to go home too today. stupid rain! Maybe i can wait out mother nature.

Get home, then get in the kart and do some muddin' in the rain!

 

[pRoFiT]

On way home right now. Streets are flooded everywhere. Only rained for an hour. I think i need a boat not a go kart.

Wow, must be a big storm coming through. First time I've got an emergency flood warning on my phone. And everyone around me, their phones went off! Like an amber alert or something. Crazy.

Anyone live downstream from the OROVILLE dam ?

 

[Rail rider]

No I don't but I warned a friend that lives in sac . to get to high ground ... THAT DAM IS GOING TO BURST

 

[TeamCheap]

Yeah that thing looks like it will give out anytime.

So that's where all our rain is, we haven't had decent rain here in over a month... & 35°C+ temps every day for at least 2 weeks...

Well, there ya go! There's your rain you've all been whining about for a number of years.
Just take it and quit yer complainin'.

 

[pRoFiT]

Yah maybe we asked for too much rain. But it does bring up valid points from everyone about the need for more dams to hold water for the drought years. Or the need for some DAM quality checks. I just like saying dam. dam.

That looks crazy. Most of my family is in Sacramento. but my mom and grandma are in placerville above sac and out of the way of this dam.

wonder if it will be like this?

From what I just heard, you Kalifoniayukistanians haven't seen anything yet!
The next storm is supposed to hit Wed, and last 7-10 days.



I'd move.

Maybe we need to plug the dikes hole with our finger. It worked for bugs bunny.
