August 19, 20232 yr How much is Hoover Reservoir and the others gonna rise because of this? Well, that’s in Ohio. So probably not much.

(LA Times has a neat look back at it: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-08-17/has-a-hurricane-ever-hit-los-angeles-before ) Parts of the California desert will get more rain in 48 hours than they've received in the past five years. Parts of the High Sierra will get SNOW!!! And.... Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California... all in a track cone BEFORE Florida this season.... I know it will likely cause some issues, but so happy to see the Sierra Nevada get some rain. Was up there this summer and the impact of the fires is everywhere. It's said that 20% of the giant sequoias (those 4ft in diameter) have died in the past three years due to fire.
August 19, 20232 yr Residents in California have been advised to leave their belts, shoes laces, and sheets outside their houses for their own safety before Hilary strikes
August 19, 20232 yr seems like an area that can use some rain - not all at once, but should help Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam reservoir

Essentially "It still has a long way to go, but models are now showing the impact shifting more south, decreasing our rain chances." My impression was it will still be a storm. We don't get shit. This is exactly right. San Antonio will get 5" and Austin/Georgetown ???? Nothing.
August 19, 20232 yr It really does seem like when it comes to climate change, Austin is just smack in the middle of the most impacted area. From temps to droughts to freezes, we're just getting it from all angles.

August 19, 20232 yr On my way to Vegas from SoCal. Had to pack umbrella and jacket for Vegas in August. WTF
August 19, 20232 yr How did we know this was going to go? Yeah…it was always going to go exactly like this:We live in Hell. And there are no breaks in Hell.
August 19, 20232 yr Southern California is going to be in a world of hurt. Not a single fuck is being given. It's going to be like Harvey and the UFC fight

August 19, 20232 yr I just pulled into LA. I’m moving my daughter back in for the fall semester. With my weather luck, expect LA to be under water Monday morning when I’m headed back north. Remains to be c seen how long it retains its strength. But yeah pepper your angus SoCal.

Local coworkers and friends all messaged asking what to do in a Hurricane since I’ve dealt with them before in Florida, I couldn’t help but laugh and say it’s nothing as bad as those times, then I felt bad because they seem pretty worried.

August 19, 20232 yr it's got a 3000-mile energy tail feeding it i see it starting to grab ahold of land halfway up near or exactly on the tortugas peninsula, pulling itself across baja in to the golfo de cali, and then riding up the Colorado to Havasu when the elevation gain starts to impede it's progress, the top bands grab ahold of the mogollon rim, and it dumps it's load on phoenix

August 19, 20232 yr 18 hours ago, Parliament said: How much is Hoover Reservoir and the others gonna rise because of this? Mead? It will help, but nowhere near what an above average snow season in the watershed does. This will be worth a 6-12" perhaps. This winter's snowmelt has been worth about 15' of elevation since January.

Buddie's new car got totalled a few years back after heavy rains caused a small mudslide, which blocked Drainage and a street that never floods flooded up to roof of his car.

August 20, 20232 yr Just looked at Levi's dissertation from yesterday's twitter, looks like So Tex is gonna get some rain sometime around Tuesday. KGNS is forecasting an 88% chance for Zapata. I might have to drive down just to refresh my memory on what rains look like. Who would have ever thought, you'd have to go there to find rain? In the meantime, I'll try to do my part and go wash the wife's SUV. Fingers and toes crossed.
