Reply to comment by [deleted] 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

Your original comment was three sentences and the first and last one both were saying how you didn't understand why people live in California. It's just a silly comment based on taking the fear too far, that's why you get downvoted.

Nobody cares if it happened to be raining harder in Cali during that time and what the data shows, because it didn't cause that much chaos like the Pakistan floods or Somalian drought or something really life altering on a mass-scale. Almost all californians were fine then and are fine how, in fact we have other problems most of us would say are bigger.

I didn't understand why people wanted to live in California when I was a child of 10, 11 years old. My opinion didn't change much as I grew older, 15,16, because there really wasn't a need to review this opinion and the news hadn't really changed all that much. As an adult, my opinion of California changed, but the facts of California's rain/snow/drought remained the same.

"Nobody cares if it blah blah" yet they cared to make the OP. Somebody cared enough to comment about "not all at once." Some cared enough to say my recollection didn't happen. I really don't care about today's weather in California. What bothers me most about all of this is that on a science sub, good data supporting my opinion is provided and disregarded by so many. It was a harmless childhood opinion based on facts. It's not that my opinion is being dismissed. It's that it's being dismissed when data is provided to support the opinion. I might as well find an Arizona based MAGA science sub to follow (I know, science and MAGA don't mix) if relevant supporting data is going to be dismissed.

None of this discussion matters if we are going to bring the world extremes such as Pakistan and Somalia into play. Somebody almost always has it worse.

You don't seem to want to listen to any of the replies telling you why you are being downvoted, like I said it's not about the data you keep providing, it's the way you are talking and the sensationalism

I made a simple comment based on a childhood opinion that happened to be fact based. I was told "no that didn't happen." I provided background links. Basic response I get- "nuu- uhhh. California is perfect.40 million people can't be wrong. " Sensationalism? Presenting state supplied data is sensationalism? It doesn't get more boring. I'm sorry you're your offended. Other than Alabama Crimson Tide levels of state pride, California looks like a great state to visit.

Your Comment/s are Just Fine.

What we say here isn't going to influence the man on the moon digging out samples of cheese. All this touchy feely Bs is just that, they're still depressed they didn't get what they wanted from Santa Claus when they were five. Still stuck with cracked display 'Speak & Spell'.

Doesn't matter WTH of those who claim living there claim. The State covers close to 800 miles North to South, and none of is related from one end to the other, and I have since early 70's lived there from time to time.

I constantly watch the weather there to help out friends who live in different parts of any threat. Oceanside has been weather station on my app since Day1 1998. Or one could be at Buffalo New York, under 8' of snow, with no way to get out of their house,

or Palm Desert where I lived, and to get the mail barefoot at noon, you better have C02 fire extinguisher backpack, they will burst into flames.

Then of course Big Bear Calif, more snow, but not as cold like 55 below zero like here Northern MN. Where right now a member here is camping in tent in middle of Gun Flint Trail. The other night was barely above zero. That's one tough camper.

Plus the thought of black bears we had on the farm chewing on your toes through nylon isn't my style of chew toy. They've snuck up me in stealth mode before. When you hear breathing before branches cracking, it's stage right, right now. Cheers
