CA storm this weekend
- Thread starter pastel
- Start date
Ever since over 20 people died in the Montecito mudslides the public safety people have been super extra cautious.
And those people died because they - the idiots “in charge” based their evacuation orders on maps made for fires.
Additionally the area that got hit by those debris flows had just spent WEEKS evacuated because of the Thomas Fire and had had enough. They - the idiots “in charge” kept them from going home for at least two weeks beyond the point of any threat from the fire. It was absurd.
Now they evacuate based on proximity to creeks and watersheds. This is good in theory but again, they - the idiots “in charge” have already overplayed their hand by evacuating these areas over and over again almost every time it’s forecast for rain.
And over and over again nothing bad happens.
Some dayit will really really really rain like a mother fucker (not likely this time from the models I’m looking at) and the people who actually should evacuate will ignore the order.
Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!

It’s also flooded and slid before. It will flood and slide again. You‘re opposed to letting people know “again” might be next week?
Have you thought about a penis pump?
If you’re referring to Montecito debris flow that occurred under the extremely unusual circumstances of front country mountain area freshly burned by fire, all vegetation gone, ground covered in feet of ash and charcoal that then got rained on at a rate nearing 10 inches in an hour. Neither of those circumstances are or will be present this week.
Not to mention that somebody opened up a valve letting go of around a million gallons of stored water in the Montecito water district…oops.
Yeah. But not this week.
They aren’t “letting people know”. They are forcing evacuations and scaring the sh!t out of people unnecessarily. What’s in the forecast is no different that any one of a few big storms we had last year and they - the idiots ”in charge” - freaked out then too.
I’ve seen this show before. Over and over.
Fireman must hate it when they have to direct traffic because it seems like they're not even trying.
Your Sheriff probably just wants to search people and not have to search for people, but if that's what needs to be done, I bet he will tell his officers to do it.
Stay out of the water.

Fixed.
The la Conchita thing was exacerbated by the agricultural operation directly above them over irrigating.
Some even say that the irrigation was THE cause….
Geologist Says La Conchita Slide Not Caused by Year's Heavy Rains
The heavy rains that swept over Southern California in the winter of 1994-95 were not enough to precipitate the massive landslide that inundated the beachside community of La Conchita, a scientist testified Thursday.
