Re: [californiadisasters] El Niño 'is here, and it is huge,' as officials rac...



Remember that Winter comes to Southern California later than Northern California and Pineapples Expresses don't typically reveal themselves until Wintertime and we are still only halfway through the Autumn months. However, there has already been usual storm activity from the storms that shut down I-5 and SR-58 and hit Lake Elizabeth to which you referred which were monsoon-like but came much too late to be typical to the abnormally late mountain thunderstorms I encountered in mid-October in the Sierra National Forest which is much later than normal for that sort of mountain convection of a non-Winter storm nature to the remnants of Hurricane Dolores bringing destructive rains to the Central Coast at the end of July to today's tornado in Denair. Things have been and are anything but normal in California and this thing has been busting humanity's balls across the globe much of the year and it is getting worse by the week. The list of more subtle oddities in California is much longer than the above obvious stuff.

LOL!   Yeah, it is indeed busting humanity. 
 
I have to say sorry for always being the weather sceptic.   I'm just looking around here in SoCal and we have yet to see one solid or even half solid storm.   That is bad even by non-El Nino standards.   It's so far been the same pattern as the drought years.  Storms skip over us and all we get is wind for two days after.  
 
The "bust" part I'm referring to relates to the Pineapple Express not materializing yet.  This is what has soaked us in the past.    We had that one t-storm in October that ravaged Lake Elizabeth communities and parts of Mojave, but that was more of a summer, afternoon heating thing.  
I'm just getting a little worried and impatient, with no El Nino or regular Alaskan storms here yet in my neck of the woods.   We need to refill our groundwater asap.    More power to NorCal and the snowpack though.   That is certainly wonderful news and the most important thing for the state!
