Big Storm Brewing for California

LBUSH49 · 01-18-2011, 08:42 PM

Today I read a article on the internet , over 100 scientists and experts say in a new report that California faces the risk of a massive "superstorm" that could flood1/4 of the states homes and cause 300-400 billion dollars of damage, They say it would be 4-5 times stronger than a major earthquake . They were saying the storm could last 40 days and dumping 10 feeet of water on the state . The storm would be goaded on by an "Atmospheric River " that would move water at the same rate as 50 Mississippis discharging water into the Gulf Of Mexico" with winds that could reach 135 mph. Boy I sure hope they are wrong Imagine how much damage that would be ; If it does Happen I sure will do a lot of praying LBUSH49

I have always heard that Nevada could someday be waterfront property. Guess they might be right.

Time to buy canned goods and a boat.

The article was based on a study of weather patterns and flooding that occurred in California's central valley in the mid 1800's. It is not a talisman for the whole of California....you know surf's up in downtown San Francisco or Los Angeles, or dogs and cats living with together (to paraphrase Ghost Busters).
