1816 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 You know, the internet makes everything weird. Getting info is easy but harder too because you never know what to believe. It seems like half the Californians think the world is ending and the other half think it's just going to be a little rainy and breezy. The reality is I don't think they have any idea what is coming their way. This same storm in Florida would absolutely be no kind of big deal. But this isn't Florida. It's the freaking desert/mountains. When a weather event that normally doesn't occur somewhere happens, it is always going to be a big deal. Like 6 inches of snow in Atlanta. Not a big deal in Maine but the Georgians can't handle it. They seem to be comparing it to the big rains they get in winter and/or the Santa Ana winds. But this is something very different. The tropical rain doesn't come and go in waves like a Pacific firehouse. It just comes down so hard it hurts and stays that way for hours. Hope they got their stuff ready. Floods going to be no joke. Maybe since it's moving decently fast it won't be so bad. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Mainiac Posted August 20, 2023 Admin Share Posted August 20, 2023 As an AV Geek, I've really been enjoying watching LAX today while I work. It's pretty wild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty wild. I've never heard of that before. Sent it to my son...think he'll enjoy it. I do remember going to Costa Rica when I was young and there were hundreds to maybe thousands of people that would stand around the airport fencing and just spectate. There were food vendors, they would camp out there...thought it was wild at the time. Not surprising to see the San Bernadinos and San Gabriels getting soaked. One station in the San Gabriels crossing the 4" mark. That band is going to cause problems... Edited August 20, 2023 by telejunkie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there were some reports of stronger aftershocks. Nothing like a little earthquake to go with your torrential rainfall. I hope the rock is taking advantage of these conditions to film a sequel to San andreas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to LA about once a year and I stay at the H Hotel that is in between the runways at LAX, just for the rooftop lounge with view. I also make a pilgrimage to In & Out Burger right next to the runway and watch the planes coming in. My brother is in SoCal and as a non-native, that was the strongest earthquake he's ever felt. It was actually the first > 5.0 earthquake in the Ventura Basin since 1932. "This location is interesting to have it there," said seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones. "Interesting" is probably not to reassuring to the locals. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
