Communities are still reeling from last week’s lashing as weather service warns of more ‘lengthy period of heavy rain’
A second atmospheric river-fueled storm is lashing California, threatening dangerous extreme weather in the state.
The National Weather Service warned continuous rainfall would hit over a 48-hour period in some already sodden areas across the state, including the central coast, the Los Angeles basin and in the mountain ranges.
“This heavy rainfall will bring the threat for life-threatening flash, urban, and river flooding as well as debris flows and mudslides,” the agency reported in a Sunday morning update.
Heavy snow and strong winds are expected to create impossible travel conditions in the mountains and destructive high surf along the coast.
The National Weather Service issued its first ever warning of hurricane force winds for the San Francisco area in northern California, with winds strong enough to cause flight cancellations and diversions out of San Francisco airport while, further south, the federal service gave a rare “high risk” of flash flooding warning for Los Angeles.
Oh another once in x # of years weather event? Ah that’s normal these days, back to scrolling.
Was out in it about an hour ago. The interstate near me was down to 30MPH with almost no congestion due to poor visibility from the wind and rain. Stay safe out there and don’t drive if you don’t have to.
Mother Nature: “well how about all the water you can drink!?”
Mother Nature: Beatings will continue until morale improves
Tipping point…
Wind was strong enough today that I could lean back and it would prop me up (to a point)
