Huddle up, stay close, don't go out unless you have to. Watch for flooding, landslides, heavy snow. For God's sake stay away from the donner Pass. No, I'm not kidding. Everybody stay safe during this 'atmospheric river" event.
'atmospheric river" event
Whats that? Never heard of it.
No offense to anyone out there, but I am glad I live in the Midwest.
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
It was a beautiful day yesterday with clear skies, plenty of sunshine and crisp temps. All the recent rains have made the hills velvet green. It's nice right now. That said, more rain etc. off and on in the next 10 days. The state needs all the moisture it can get.
As the late, Johnny Carson once observed, "the mudslides are putting out the wild fires."
Prayers, thoughts and wishes for safety for all the brothers and sisters in California. Hopefully, the rains and precipitation will restore the reservoirs. Sometimes, Mother Nature is a real mother.
This video is a mindblower to say the least.......as you can see a big log jam broke loose this week. To you non-Californians who have never been to Big Sur, it's an INTENSELY beautiful place and a hugely popular tourist destination, right on the coast with incredible ocean views and mountains behind it. I think it was 2012 I stayed overnight there in a cabin after my brother did a show there at Henry Miller Library with Alanis Morissette. Alanis is in love with Big Sur and otherwise never would have played a 500 seat venue like that. Problem for hotel or restaurant owners in Big Sur is that you better have some serious $$$ in the bank because about every other winter or so the hills collapse from the rain and close Highway 1 which is the only access to the small town.
Love the film Celebration At Big Sur but there’s no cause for celebration at Big Sur or even statewide nowadays w/these mudslides/storms/incessant rain etc - flooding/whole cliffs giving way - it’s all thruout the state from what I’ve read, wiping out homes, bridges, entire blocks in places
the film does show the scenery of the surrounding Big Sur area
mudslides, earthquakes, wildfires, terrible heat waves - Calif is/always has been a magnet for disasters, but this current situation is especially bad, so they say
looks to me like a huge chunk of the state is ripe to break off into the Pacific, in the same fashion as glaciers/icebergs calving - telltale fissures/huge sinkholes etc will form, giving residents some forewarning of an imminent disaster worse than any movie…
some vid alright robslob, holy heck - was brave to film it, I woulda been bailing pronto - Ma Nature & The Man Upstairs - no one knows anything compared to them
