Hardly the catastrophe predicted! Every severe weather incident is now seen as “worst ever!” Largely a gift to Northern California. That’s often how droughts end!

Sorry your city is dealing with drainage issues, but my trees needed this rain and my wells needed it as well... Now, if we can only get three or four more big storms like this during the rest of the winter months, I'll be less concerned about my water situation.

We need more once everyone month up to spring to bail out of the drought

[smorris]

The sad thing is California has no water containment so it all ran off into the ocean.

[gregsummerson]

How much of that fresh water did you hold on to?

[williamkilduff]

The Bomb cyclone 🌀 sounds like high grade Marijuana 😃

[LanndynCarnateBowling]

not California always predicting catastrophe, but not really!!!!

[rageme]

How much water is collecting in the reservoirs? Inches? Feet?

[brasshound]

Look at the bright side, can't complain about a drought anymore.

[nottobebelieved]

Californians curse the rain. Californians curse the drought. Californians curse the wild fires. Well at least they are consistent.

Thank goodness I live way up north 3 hours north of SAC in Redding! But, I would rather have tons of rain than forest fires!

[chriskellison]

Those 2 woman would probably try put an oil fire out with lighter fluid. They obviously thought they knew better than the crew that put out the sign.

Great news washing the human poop away.

[ricecakeboii]

Notice how there aren’t any trucks stuck? Watch your ground clearance if you’re not sure. Californians & water don’t go well.

Dumb enough to drive through a flooded area...

Blames authorities...🙄

[callspreadzero]

Wash all the shit off. Wouldn’t want to step in any standing water though..

[speedy]

Well designed section of the bridge… how much did the section cost, again? 🤐

[wildbill]

No police, hmmm wonder where they at.

[netstarr]

Tesla's were everywhere. Boom Boom. Boom. They went.

[grapplerunit]
