This rain... WTF?

JB in so cal · Jan 21, 2017

Dunno about blasting walkers...

They would probabably rather be in a vehicle, but whatever...

We need the rain....have you not heard SoCa is in a severe drought?

Suck it up buttercups...a few days of rain won't kill you...:lmao

Just deal for a few more weeks, and all will be right again. :thumbup:

No offence meant as we certainly need water, but we catch almost no water in So Cal, We need snowpack in the western Rockies as almost all of our water comes from Powell and Mead. Sure a small amount perks down to our underground storage, but how many of you are on wells? We are mostly dependent on the water districts who are dependent on water coming from the Colorado, I sure wouldn't count on Moonbeam saving some to send to you, because the smelt may need it more than you. I'd prefer my teams were working on roofs and it was dumping snow on the western slope, just my 2 cents. Good news is they are currently well above normal in the western slope, should be a good water year!

You kinda left out one of the largest sources of LA water... the Owen's River. Aka the Sierra Nevada snowpack.

The need for running my landscaping sprinklers is another nice thing about our drought ending. I haven't had my timer in automatic mode since January 2015.

I don't think I've run them more than ten times in two years. The pool hasn't needed much water either. In the summer of 2014 we had a couple of water bills that were over $200.

BTW what's normal for a pool? My 25k pool will lose a quarter/half inch a week if it's warm. That's quite a bit of water

Totally normal. If you had lawn in the place of your pool it would be more then what your pools going through.

Over it is an understatement.

Natures way of raising the levels of the lakes and rivers we boat on. For you with lawn sprinklers, your water bill will be lower if you've remembered to set your sprinkler timers to "off" or to "rain" setting.

I have not watered my grass in over 3 weeks.

There's an ocean next to CA. We don't have a water problem, we have a salt problem.

OldSchoolBoats · Jan 22, 2017

It has been consistently raining for over 3 hours now. Tons of water. Looking forward to splashing the boat in Elsinore soon.

Been raining pretty hard at our place in Valencia for most of the day. Our flower beds are overflowing. We haven't had to use our sprinklers in about 3 weeks which is good.

This is a creek feeding my local lake. The road that the water is flowing over is about 5-8 feet above ground.

rmarion · Jan 23, 2017

My pool water has risen 2" today in Corona...

92 cole · Jan 23, 2017

It won't stop. Steady, hard rain since 12pm here in Murrieta. It's still going and forecast says it won't stop until 3pm tomorrow. Lots of roads closed around town and some idiots thought it would be a good idea to test their new truck out in the wash with a kid in the car and had to be rescued.....

Was thinking about you guys when the news showed your entire area on flood watch. It's been calm here for a few hours, but supposed to pick back up in an hour or two.

2 months Cali will be back in drought status.

Roaddawg · Jan 23, 2017

A little north of Hot Springs and the 15 in that channel that runs under the freeway.

I hope where you're moving is on a hill.

If you think this rain is hard, wait till you get to Texas.

Little hail at work in Ontario.

wsuwrhr · Jan 23, 2017

Awesome, not quite cold enough in Upland I guess.

At least that means Baldy is getting blasted.

McRib · Jan 23, 2017

I hope it keeps up!! I could take a month off unpaid with how much my next check is gonna be!

Motoxxxloak · Jan 24, 2017

My uncle lives in canyon lake. Sent me the top pic yesterday and the bottom pic today. Lake has risen what looks to be close to a foot!

RitcheyRch · Jan 24, 2017

One more good thing about the rain. The Nobama's have left CA because of it.
