We need to get out an protest this weather its ridiculous.

[@regularguyreviews3048]

😂😂😂

[@helmutschillinger3140]

That would be a Floridian move, but also fits Southern Californians.

[@christianespino7960]

Good luck

[@neonred7594]

I agree.

[@Nacey_silva]

You can’t do anything, because this is the power of God ! Who is like God ? No body is like God ! Poor people, we have to convert to God and put God always first! 🙏

[@tasteslikepennies2549]

They need to be pumping that out into the desert areas and using it. They've been complaining about not getting any rain for quite a while. They might as well fill up some reservoirs or something

[@perplexhaze3353]

The funny thing is they don't have a system to capture or reroute all that rain it just goes out to sea , hence why la river always swells up during any prolonged rain

[@helmutschillinger3140]

Or something.

[@Morgan1Leigh]

@@perplexhaze3353well, considering the filth that’s been allowed in so many cities, all that water is contaminated.

[@perplexhaze3353]

@@Morgan1Leigh they can build a system to catch the rain as it falls to the ground ..unfortunately they won't and they don't allow private citizens to catch rain water in their yard either

[@Jaco3688]

My thoughts, exactly. In the lean years, they should have been acting proscriptively; instead they’ll complain that (perhaps) next year there’s no water in their reservoirs. I wont shed a tear then.

It never rains in southern California 🎶

Ha, it rains all winter there. 😅

[@rrosedame-martin290]

[@regularguyreviews3048]

I’m sure people were not prepared since the weather identified as light rain!

[@kiki1573]

I layered up with clothes. I thought this would be a freezing cold storm, but no, it's not very cold. It is rare to see it rain constantly- non stop. All this rain is good for Southern California, but the government here is so weird I know the rain water will go to waste.😢

[@4evarich5]

Yeah it’s weird asf! I went outside last night it wasn’t cold like I expected

[@streetsmart1164]

You got that right ! Local dams have been dumping water for at least three days now, because they can’t claim climate, global or whatever, if there is too much water . But their backup plan is , “The day after Tomorrow “

[@maybemablemaples2144]

It's actually due to water treaties with neighboring states that cut up how much water everyone gets. Some of the companies take up millions of pounds of water before it gets to regular people. It's so messed up how the water table is used by other states too. The drought was exacerbated by over use from these companies and golf courses if you'd believe it.

[@benb6527]

@@4evarich5 It’s been pretty pleasant with most californians being hydrophobic! It’s been so quiet everywhere.

[@kiki1573]

​@benb6527 Hydrophobic? Lol no we're not afraid of water. We welcome the rain and snow. I think we're just not used to continuous rainfall for 24 hours straight. When the sun comes out people love to see crystal clear days. You can see the ocean and the snow on the mountains, the whole county from the Hollywood Hills. It's a little bit of a mental health booster.

​@@rotomoto8416no it is not. Get educated. It is ignorance to say anything about an atmospheric river if you have no idea of what you are talking about, it makes you shine stupid.

california was in a really bad draught for atleast a decade, they can't complain about their lakes and rivers getting much needed water

[@mikeroy9316]

Can oklahoma get a lil bit of that? Just a little would be perfect 😂 but fr i hope everyone is able to make it out and get somewhere safe.

Is it dumping in the atmospheric ocean?

[@jazziez6467]

i just hope they can get enough rain to fill lake mead a bit more, they were begging for rain for decades so it has finally arrived

Better than a fire so….keep it up sky river much appreciated

[@Pinkielover]

just a great rain,, California let's change everything because we think we are special ,, let's call it atmospheric river, in a few years We'll call it an atmospheric ocean... just rain and that's what makes California the way it is Rollinghills

[@JathraDH]

Do some research. Atmospheric rivers have been a thing for ages and it is a very common term. There is a constant one that delivers moisture from japan across the pacific, it usually hits us up here in Washington State and Vancouver BC. We deal with it all winter, every winter. It seems its veered south currently though. There is also one atmospheric lake that was only recently discovered a few years ago, quite a few atmospheric rivers though around the globe that are there all the time. If you are going to make a smart ass comment try not to be so ignorant of actual meteorological terms perhaps.

[@jacqloock]

If only it were possible to somehow capture such water from heaven for future use. I’m thinking of a word for a man-made facility to dam up, so to speak, this precious free resource essential to all life except the delta smelt.

[@4evarich5]

They wouldn’t do that, it’s not hard to clean all that water, it’s part of there propaganda

Where is are governor at? Where is our government at? Why can’t they prepare for this?

they need to claim a refund of their sunshine tax

[@bonez1318]

There’s a drought, thanks mother nature

[@dxrrxw]

Nice state.

[@imscanon]

It just irks me when I see people driving around or not evacuating early when these things pop up. It only makes emergency personnel endure more risk to save your butt and people die due to your foolish actions. Just head the warnings, get what you need from the store before it starts then either stay home if in a safe area or evacuate to a safe zone BEFORE the thing starts. Ya'll have warning. Don't risk lives. Can we please start teaching how NOT be be a stupid human in the schools, please? We need that, because clearly parents are neglecting their responsibilities there...

[@user-pt2qv2zq2r]

They didn't build nothing during the unbearable drout and all that water will run off into the ocean

Stop with the atmospheric river bs, same rain storms as in the seventies, only difference, more pavement. More pavement less ground saturation, more run off, more run off with drain pipes that weren't designed for diverting that much water, bigger flooding issues

[@ThomasBeltz66]

Atmospheric river? Seriously? Is it more newsworthy if you change the phrase jetstream to “atmospheric river“? That’s just laughable

[@danielmartin7838]

How do EV’s with batteries located in the undercarriage perform in high water? People plowing through the flooding are being irresponsible and indifferent to those around them.

We make other words up too, like uneducated and ignorant, inbred and degenerate, intellectually challenged fits also.

[@joelmurphy7980]

I suppose they needed something more dramatic sounding so the term atmospheric river was coined by the climate cult a couple years ago. And every storm is now called record breaking, unprecedented, historic or biblical. The storms are the same as they've always been, just more people in the way now.
