Pineapple Express is going to slam Cali in the next several days. They expect the first ever hurricane force winds to hit. Whoa, now. Hang on, y’all.

Not trying to sound callous, but this might reduce some of the homeless problem and tent cities

No one ever puts new wiper blades on their cars out there, either.
So, when they get any rain, they can't see shit out their windshields.
I'd be shocked if they didn't fish a few bodies out of the sea this week - lots of homeless people camp along the LA River. It's typically a trickle. Not today.
Damn! That man-made global climate change is something else, huh? At least it was a hundred sixty years ago.
The intense rains sweeping in from the Pacific Ocean began to pound central California on Christmas Eve in 1861 and continued virtually unabated for 43 days. The deluges quickly transformed rivers running down from the Sierra Nevada mountains along the state’s eastern border into raging torrents that swept away
entire communities and mining settlements. The rivers and rains poured into the state’s vast Central Valley, turning it into an inland sea 300 miles long and 20 miles wide. Thousands of people died, and one quarter of the state’s estimated 800,000 cattle drowned. Downtown Sacramento was submerged under 10 feet of brown water filled with debris from countless mud-slides on the region’s steep slopes. California’s legislature, unable to function, moved to San Francisco until Sacramento dried out—six months later. By then, the state was bankrupt.

a plane takes off in the rain, into the clouds. go figure.
I've seen more drama (and experienced it) with touch and goes at DCA on an average weeknight.
All i can say about these videos is that california has fallen a long way since the day of live helicopter reports of low-speed chases on the freeway to brentwood.
Until places start having 100- year and 500-year floods every couple decades...
Historically it has happened time and time again. California was in the midst of a decades old drought, now they have water coming from the heavens and as usual not plan in place to store it.
Sucks to be them but they weren't prepared.
Uh, no. It hasn't.
That's why this is the historical record for rainfall in a 24 hr period.
How so?
It reports rainfalls over 1-2 week periods. 2x to 3x longer than what we just saw here.
Also, 1965 is well within the range of human-created warming due to +50 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere over the pre-industrial range.
It has happened fairly regularly.
Silence from the “Everything Is climate change” crowd.

To be fair, the world was pretty damn industrialized by 1938.
Some horrible weather event in 1738 would be more meaningful.
But who would record it? The natives? The earth is 4.5 billion years old and we have been recording weather how long? How many rain gauges do you think existed in LA county in 1938? Who collected the data afterwards?
Are you really a storm chaser if the storm is coming to you?
Climate Change Evidence: How Do We Know?
The rate of change since the mid-20th century is unprecedented over millennia.
Scientific Consensus: Earth's Climate is Warming
Most leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing the position that climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities.
7 undeniable climate change facts
Climate change is real and human-made, and there's overwhelming scientific consensus that this is true. Here are 7 undeniable climate change facts.

In 2023, denying that climate change is real and caused/accelerated by man is absurd. It indicates a lack of intelligence and an inability to think critically.
If 97 out of 100 doctors told you that you had cancer and need chemotherapy, and the other three said you had a cold and could go home, only foolish cowards would listen to the three.
The consensus, over 97 percent of the scientific community, believes climate change is real and caused/accelerated by man.
Denial is not flat-Earther, gravity-isn't-real crazy, but it's certainly knocking on that door.
