Grand national roadster show move in day is tomorrow. Of coarse it’s going to rain like a mofo. And supposed to rain sunday too. Move out day. What a clusterfuck this should be.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

I would imagine the clash for NASCAR gets rained out. They spent all that money on converting the Coliseum…

 

[NicPaus]

Going to cause a mess on 1 of my jobs. Just finished tearing out the driveway to tie in the new sewer and run a new water main. This clay sucks and the damn driveway was 10-12" thick taking me 2 extra days. Got my machine moved to the next one though and in a garage ready for rain.

 

[Wedgy]

Much respect. Dominate Nic. I remember the days. Not often in SoCal, you can't even get out of the truck. But it does happen. Finish Trades, eating lunch inside new construction, watching water weep out through the drywall nails, down the walls, and spread out across the floor. Dana Point/Newport Coast. Back in the Day.
(Which led to; Elastomeric coatings!) I think the best boost was Riverside County, mandating Masonry Fencing on the line.

Oh shit. I need to pay my dues. Thanks! Happy New Year!

Now you'll also spend twice as much on aggregate to compact and pour as that wet, slick mud absorbs it. But the bright side is you'll have 1 hell of a tight base when it finally dries out for the pour. Haha

 

[Meaney77]

All I know is Dani Ruberti on KCAL 9 news is providing great up to the minute storm coverage.

Base was free until last month. I just dumped the last load tonight. My bid included 2" of compacted base already. Already got the sand for my main lines in a pile in back. Biggest issue will be waiting for it to dry out. Was trying to get final inspection before president weekend.

Possible 6” between Sunday and Monday from Woodland Hills to Ventura.

Santa Barbara may wash away lol

 

[Mr. C]

We saw some good down pours. In Castaic

 

[badgas]

When I was kid we called it rain : )

Time to go outside and have " gutter boat races "

 

[badgas]

Rain.
Thunderstorm.
Global warming!
Climate change!
El Nino!
Atmospheric River!

I wonder what catchphrase these "Weather forecasters" will use next year??

You forgot Bomb Cyclone

Let me know if you need some extra sump pumps. Not sure if it’ll help

Damn. I’m sorry to see that. I can’t imagine. fingers crossed it doesn’t get worse.

I have 5 apartment buildings im building in LA. They are all going to get fucked up. I have about 10 trash pumps on standby and other sump pumps already set up. This picture was this morning from one by LAX. Showed up, 6” of water covering the entire subterranean garage with the pumps already going all night. All materials stored in garage not on pallets are garbage. I REALLY HATE THE RAIN

[HST4ME]

Hoping that it dumps in any spots that help to fill up Powell and our river.

I LOVE maps and find this one fascinating. In case you haven't seen it before, you can tap anywhere on the map and see where the rain will ultimately end up.

Saw on Fox11 they are predicting a 1000 year Ark storm. Comparing it to a great flood in 1862 with rain equivalent to 10 feet. 1 in 4 houses would be impacted.

Biden were gonna need more stimulus packages !

Of course they are. Just like their hurricane predictions last year! LOL

Our area is up to 4.5” for Sunday. Cmon be right just once!!!

It makes me laugh everytime! Never even close usually. And its all a panic generator.

 

[ChrisV]

Washed all my customers cars at once. Saved a lot of money . Just got soaked but it’s ok.

 

[Todd Mohr]

That's the problem with the media, they don't report for the truth, just the money. Panic headlines and made up terms generate more $$. Bomb Cyclone... LOL

If you tell the same lie often and Long enough someone will believe it.

A Fireman spokesman on the News called last weeks storm a 1000 year storm. Shit, 20 year ago was a shit ton worse, couple years in a row & I'm sure there were plenty like these in the last century. Just sayin'.

This is from Fox 5 News in San Diego site: "While the latest storm did not have same catastrophic impacts as the “thousand-year” storm on Jan. 22, San Diegans still saw a lot of rain — even some overnight hail and mountain snow. So, exactly ho much fell while the system moved over the region?

Our area of SD County got 1.5" and over 2.5" on the 22nd. Should be a lot more next week as it's showing five days of rain still.

Give me a shout out if I can help you. I got some of my own stuff going on. But if I can I will help you.

I heard they’re getting 3-4ft of snow in Big Bear on Monday?

Our forecast is for 4.5” Sunday thru Tuesday. Looks pretty solid from Noon Sunday thru Noon Tuesday. Shouldn’t be too bad if it’s just a consistent storm.

Thank you @Mr. C I’m hoping the three days of prep will get me through it

I’m working this week and staying extra couple days but hope this damn rain don’t mess up my trip home back to az. Was to go home tues but might on Monday now.

Hate to see flooding and closed roads. Then when I get home I’m gonna get the damn rain I left coming in. .

There goes my dirtbike riding golf course and shooting activities next week. maybe I’ll drop my jet ski in local flood basin at park.

Another 35 days and nights then we might make some progress

Those numbers create a massive amount of runoff and are great for filling some reservoirs, assuming they don't pre-release for fear of to much, to fast.
Realistically, numbers themselves don't always equate to the most beneficial progress, unless you're a network meteorologist going for ratings.
Nice deep wet snowpack is best for filling refilling our reservoirs.

For my own selfish needs, give me a modest rainfall spread over a couple of days and repeat this about every 7-10 days. Most soaks in and is beneficial, and enough and it purges the soil of accumulated salts, which makes my avocado trees happy.
Right now you can hear the weeds singing with delight.

The rich would simply bob around in their Superyachts filled with all the hot chicks, as they powered through the floating working stiffs.

Besides, I'm sure Portland's seen 40 days and 40 nights of successive rain and that pile of filth is still there.
