Flash Flood on I5 in California. No doubt our resident sheep will claim "global warming!"

[westwall]

But, as anyone who actually has lived in the region knows this is a normal occurrence. It is after all a DESERT. What happens in deserts? Yep...flash floods.

Carry on!

Got one ready to hit here any minute. Third this year.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Er, wait. I thought CO2, caused forest fires. Surely there must be a left and right handed version of CO2 where one causes fires, the other floods

 

[flacaltenn]

I will carry on.. Neither flood, nor mud nor drought nor fire will keep me from my appointed rounds..

Poor OldSocks -- That drought map is about to turn all yellow..

"Global warming cause global cooling"...Al Gore
It still hurts to even hear that..

Betcha those Cali weather critters are all going bananas over rain. They'll be talking about all the toddlers who have NEVER seen rain in their entire lives tonight...

I'm in Arizona about 200 miles east of Cali. This is a big storm.

Could have something to do with the nino.

Could have something to do with the nino.

"Could". But, when it is a natural occurrence, the evidence needs to be pretty high to support the assertion.

amazing washes in Cali. near Baker , Barstow , Searchlight [approximately] vicinity on the way to Vegas . Would love to see them in full flood without death or problems to humans .

Poor Westwall. He always makes these predictions about how his fantasy opponents have to act, and they never come true.

It's so good to be part of Team Rational. We don't anyone commanding us who to demonize, so we examine the real world without any partisan bias. With no political dog in the hunt, no emotional attachment to any position but the truth, we take joy in simply learning, no matter how the outcome affects anyone's politics. If our politics don't match the science, we'll change our politics.

Now, the El Nino is sort of good news in that it's forecast to reach further north and start refilling the reservoirs more.

El Niño rains forecast to reach far into Northern California, where they're most needed

Ummmm, no. It's a well established and KNOWN cycle of events. Color me unsurprised that a nimrod such as yourself doesn't understand cause and effect, nor take the time to research even the very BASICS of the subject.

Epic fail dude.

Nope. Don't need to. By definition, none of those posts EXIST before you write your title.

DUH.

And btw as a bait thread this belongs in Rubber Badlands or somewhere.

This particular mud slide on the Grapevine you can chalk up to the drought killing ground cover so nothing to hold the top layer when the rains came yesterday.
