We Survived The Great Flood

Mojave, California

California as a whole state received 32 trillion dollars, haha, dollars, we wish, 32 trillion gallons of rain in 16 days. San Francisco received over 18 inches of rain in 16 days. We received about 4 and a half inches in 16 days. We are already above our monthly average for the month of January. That's pretty good for this drought ridden state, though. Almost a trillion gallons of water for per person as state hovers at about 40 million people, maybe its a bit over 39 million but close enough. What are you going to do with your trillion gallons of water Crossbones? Turn some it into beer and watch the rest filter out to the ocean. I make bad jokes. Hows your weather? Clear skies and sunshine here now, but so cold at night been in mid to high 30's all week.

That's a lotta water but maybe this year there won't be any fires. Our nights are icy cold too and for a few days we won't get over 50f, not my kind of weather but then it is winter

@rebelann Sometimes you have to even punch mother nature in the face if you want to survive. Its no joke. She does not play and guess we should not either.

I can't imagine how saddening that must be. I once read that it was once very common for most of the west would go up in flames even before humanity moved in to ruin what was.

Wow! And how did you catch your trillion gallons, Crossbones? In your cupped hands? It's a start, at least. Maybe Mother Nature is smiling on Californians for a change. It's storming outside right now. But it's only rain... We're at 34F with the temp supposed to reach a low tonight of... Hmm... 34F? According to the weather app on my phone, at least. The National Weather Service shows the low here as 33F tonight and the State Weather Service shows a low of 31F... But they all show it isn't raining here right now, too.

@crossbones27 It's always about money, even in a bad storm.

Its usually normally pretty humid there, so I am sure you guys will sooner or later. Its amazing here how you could feel such moisture in air, now its so dry again. I was cleaning up dog poop and went to clean rake thing off expecting some nice soft dirt, that craps like concrete how quick it dried out here. This place is crazy.

@crossbones27 Yeah, and you'd think you'd get humidity, too. Maybe more along the costal regions I guess.

That sure is a lot of water and I hope the people most affected can get to dry up soon, It always seems to be that way in nature either you have drought or you have way too much rain,

I kind of want to go to the store for milk but I am being a wimp. It's cold raining with a teeny bit if snow mixed in. Now I really feel like a wmp: A guy on a bike just zipped by my house. Maybe I'm spoiled.

Like you, I'm dealing with drier, yet colder, weather and watching the water finally soak into the ground. We've had a LOT of problems with mudslides in the area recently. We got a YEAR'S worth of rain in just a couple of weeks!

Indeed, like a culture shock for mother nature, wait I am wet and you are dry. I do not belong here.
