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

just fyi, your personal experience isn't even close to what the majority of californians experience. The majority of people have always lived in or around the LA or SF area and did not experence these crushing snows or flooding you are talking about. When I was growing up there, I remember only one hailstorm in the silicon valley. That was about as bad as you got in terms of cold weather for the majority of the people who live in California....

Reread my comments. Now read them again. This isn't my personal experience. It's what I saw on the news in the 80s. Look at the post. See the blue words? Those are links to data from the state of Caliirnia that support what I claimed to have seen on the news. See the link to the Sierra Nevada snowfall? See how low relative to average it is becoming? That snow pack is where LA gets a lot of water. LA might have nothing but pretty weather, but LA is getting thirsty.

So basically you claim doom and high water and wondered why anybody would want to go and live in California without actually experiencing anything yourself from the place you are criticising.... man have you ever even traveled out of your state?

Yes, I have. Traveled out of the country as well. I would actually like to visit California. The state looks magnificent.

"So basically you claim " look at all my comments. Flood, snow, drought, and fire comments are backed by state of California data.

This is the second time I have pointed out to you that I included links to data supporting my opinion.

As I said in my original response and the response that triggered you, it is a childhood opinion, based on facts that I have posted links to.

If you read all of my comments, drought is where California is heading.
