No, but there was one just a few years ago in San Diego on Ingraham … car was moving too

These trees come up way too often. One closed down Balboa Park a few weeks ago. And another palm fell and hit a car only a block away last month. It’s definitely an issue
We rarely get wind like we have had the past couple months, especially in the city

all that rain you're getting is turning into snow here. Getting 3-5 inches today. Not a ton, but for Reno that's quite a bit more than usual. All schools closed today. It's steady snowfall & it's supposed to be coming down literally all day & into the night.

The hills in Fremont are covered in snow

Portland has been shut down since Wednesday night because of the snow. There are two fedex trucks just blocking the intersection on the hill nearby. Been there since Wednesday. Their hazard lights are still going as of this morning.

My brother works at the airport. Once all the flights got cancelled, he tried getting back home to Vancouver, saw the traffic and said "fuck that" and went to a hotel. I had a friend trying to take 205 back to Vancouver. His typical commute is 20 minutes. Took him 10 hours to get home from work.

Never been happier to work remotely :rofl:

I was caught in the '17(?) snowstorm that hit during the evening commute. Took over 3 hours to get like 10 miles.

The minute shit starts sticking to the ground unless you are immediately getting in your car you are fucked.

My mom lives in east Vancouver, but was spending one night up in Battleground at my sister's house to help with her ~9 month old twins while my brother-in-law is out of town for work. She's been up there for a few days now :o

Y'all out of your droughts yet? I'm sure this is helping a ton. Especially since snow melts into the ground really nice.

colorado river is where the water is needed the most, as it feeds the hoover dam and where cali gets most of its drinking water. and fortunately it looks like this storm is going to benefit the colorado river greatly. TOO much water isn't good either, as it's not like every drop of water can be captured and put into a reservoir.

Yeah, it's absolutely a balance. We (NTX) went from exceptional drought and many lakes being very low to essentially all lakes over capacity within a couple of months back in 2015. It was wild how much we got "caught up."

it depends on the region as well and how they get their water. In florida for example, the water comes from underground aquifers. So pretty much every drop of rain can get absorbed into the ground & feed the aquifer. It's also why, despite Florida getting tons of heavy rain & basically having a sub tropical climate, I never experienced any flooding while I was there. The only floodplains in the state are areas close to lakes/rivers/ocean. Everything else just passes through the loose soil into the limestone & into the aquifer.
I lived in Houston and the entire damn city outside of maybe the heights is a floodplain. Red clay + all the concreate ain't absorbing shit.
