They’re predicting an awful lot of precipitation. I heard something like 9” in Ojai from Sunday and Monday. The hype machine is on full effect. We can always use the water, just hope it’s not disastrous and it ends up being not so bad like the “hurricane”

4-5' of snow predicted, so mountain roads will probably be the usual shitshow.

Was just at a birthday party and all of a sudden 30+ phones went off with a mandatory evacuation notice for all areas on or around creeks in Southern SB County.
The Carp campgrounds have been cleared and all areas on the ocean side of 101 have been advised to leave.
For all you save the driftwood folks, there will be no shortage in the foreseeable future.
SB Flood Control and Sheriff's Dept. are calling this storm to be one of the most significant in SB County history.
Batten down the hatches, it's going to be a fun 2-3 days :drowning:

I have changed my mind on the driftwood. See the thread for my reasoning.

They are either totally unable to read and understand today’s modern weather forecasting systems or they are lying pieces of sh!t.

Calm down.

It’s going to rain. It might even rain hard at times. Some places might even have some issues. It’s not going to be anywhere near what they are hyping.

Look at the weather forecast models that are available to everyone to see. There’s no there there.

SB County Sheriffs had big scary sounding, in uniform with a podium, press conference warning us “LIFE THREATENING!!!” conditions.

Schools already closed for Monday.

I’ll be working, outside, in ventura, all day Monday.

Bunch of fucking liars and/or pussies.

By “they“ you mean news media and government liar hacks and NOT the actual weather forecast models.

We’ll see.

”Hype machine” is inadequate in describing the utter bullshit we’re being foisted upon us.
We can always use the water,
If only someone would invent a way to capture and store all the runoff…
just hope it’s not disastrous and it ends up being not so bad like the “hurricane”
Better head to Trader Joe’s right now and clear the shelves.

Shelter In Place!™️

PS: go find the “hurricane” thread and read what I wrote there.

No, it’s just a mixture of CYA bullshit, complete incompetence, paranoia and deep seeded need of those in power to look like they’re doing “something.”

Our local Sheriff is half a chromosome short of full blown retard. I be surprised of his IQ breaks 90. No joke.

He’s in charge right now.

You should whisper that in his ear on the mat in your dojo!
I train with a couple rank and file sheriffs. It’s from them and my own personal interactions with our esteemed chief county law enforcement officer from which I form my opinions of him.

So they’re whispering in your ear while you’re on the mat?
