Reply to comment by mynextthroway in Satellites watch 'atmospheric river' bring extreme rain to California — Satellites of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are monitoring the weather system, revealing its various aspects including wind speeds and expected amount of rain. by BlankVerse

Being born here and living 99% of my life in CA, I can tell you that it was a beautiful childhood being raised in the Redwoods. We lost our home to a flood, and another was damaged by an earthquake. Living my adult life and raising children on the gorgeous Central Coast has also been a wonderful experience. We lost our home to a wildfire a few years ago. I can totally understand why 12 year old you would say no thanks to living here. Shit happens no matter where you go. California really is a beautiful state and it's home to me, can't really see myself anywhere else.

Oh, I agree. California looks like a great place, and yes, most parts of the country have natural negatives. I would love to spend 5,6 months just visiting. Adult me sees the whole picture. Kid me says no, lol.
