Hurricane Hillary may help CA's drought.

Or it may just cause havoc thru those fire burned hills and valley;s....what do you think??

I heard that Tule Lake is back. It’s been a dry lakebed for decades.

We got many times the average rainfall state wide, most of the reservoirs are full, and the Sierra's snow pack is still way above average. We're going to get some rain from the coming storm, could possibly get flashfloods here in the High Desert. Or, we might just see the clouds zoom past us and head for Las Vegas.

 

[RadishRose]

I just hope the rain helps the crops, restores the lakes without damaging floods and landslides!

How soon 10" hits the ground will be something to be concerned about

Reno is going to be in the 70’s by Sunday which is really unusual but because of the storm. Hopefully it doesn’t cause damage. We have been getting rain lately which is also good.

There is a lot of flat land LA and eastward. If Malibu gets soaked, there may be some multi million dollar mansions on the mud slides. Dumb place to build a house.

Thinking of everyone in the SW this morning ......

Thinking of everyone in the SW this morning ......

Me too, hoping things don't get too bad. Very stressful weather for these folks.

We got soaked good, right now a bit of a lull but doesn't look like the storm's quite over yet. There's a lot of muddy streams in this area that have come out of hiding.
So far the wind has been behaving itself, which is unusual in this normally windy section of the High Desert.

I'm in Northern California. I will be watching how this goes. I tend to worry about a lot of things. We have fires. Washinton state has fires, Canada.

Western Mojave high desert areas like Lancaster and the State California Poppy reserve show now at 8pm PDT nearly 4 inches of precipitation today with Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley National Park and Borrego Spring nearly 2 inches. Much rare water will be absorbed by perennial bush roots of species like chuparosa, ocotillo, joshua trees, mesquite, and desert willows where they tend to grow along washes and ravines. Not the time of year for desert perennials that bloom in late winter.

 

[Lawrence00]

I wonder if there will be alligators in the streets.

 

[JustBonee]

 

[Brookswood]

Some of the parched desert plants are getting a good soaking that they desperately need. Even Joshua Trees and cactus need some water. I expect some of the animal life is having an easier time finding water.

Well, CA isn't in major drought this year, but the SoCA reservoirs might get a little bit of help from the recent rains. CA depends more on snowpacks than on rainfall, however.
