I remember some years where the water rose pretty high in the LA River.

March is always been the month for rain! Seen it rain for a week or more there in March. I rem Filing for Unemployment because the mud was so bad we could not do pipeline construction for weeks on end. Nov is the other month for rain usually.

Here's a radar image of the storm.

I get five feet of rain a year here and when I visit my son in SOCAL, I'm disgusted at how dusty, gritty and grimy most things there you touch are.

We’ve had a total of some 77 inches of snow so far this winter. Could be worse, they’ve had some 25 feet up on the Keewenaw peninsula this winter.

" Is good weather really worth it?"

It's not just good weather we have, though it's darn good.

It's pretty too.

Ever see a Valley Oak forest?

Redwood forest?

Wild, untouched coastline for 10s of miles at a time?

And mountains taller than the Rockies.

Yup. People who ask why I stay in Michigan have never spent any real time here.

And California changes seasons directly from fire to mud.

Actually, I’ve been to California many times on business and vacation and all over the state. I was mostly rattling cages for fun.

True.
There are no real “storms” here.
The building construction standards - particularly housing - across the state are pathetic.
Any respectable typhoon or hurricane, should we get one, would render half the state homeless.

I only live about 20 miles from Hell. You would think it would be warmer.

Laughing?

Now why would anyone be laughing?

Rain event?

What the hell is a rain event?

Since when did a couple of inches of rain become an event?

Rain doesn’t become an “event” until it hits 20-30 inches.

No where not laughing.

Its Truly Stunning by any standards so much so that two southern Calfornia rock and roll bands are now battling over the Name: The Flaming Mudslides
