Our forecast sounds bad

The way I see it, Santa Cruz is the start of So. Cal. anything north of that, is NorCal. IMO anyway. I've almost had to fight about it with my drunk S.C. friends.

Tribal boundaries vary greatly, depending on which group you happen to ask!  :)
 
I lived in San Luis Obispo county for a long while.  The residents are VERY emphatic that they live in CENTRAL California.  They hold themselves high above the L.A. hordes, and want nothing to do with you hippies up north.
 
From their POV, SoCal starts somewhere around Santa Maria.  (Occasionally included, largely due to the city's BBQ fame)   NoCal begins somewhere around Salinas, with SLO naturally claiming all the pretty land along highway 1 and the coast.  Despite being only ~100 miles away, and almost dead east, Bakersfield is dismissed as a particularly unpleasant region of "The Valley."
 
This weather system will bring snow to the S. Arizona mountains, and the forecast valley lows in the high-30's have me a bit worried for my plants.  I know we'll get a big freeze eventually, but...  :(

Wind is at 41 and Gust up to 63 so far. Lot of people are out of power, lots of flooding all around here.   We kept our kids home but there schools are open but a lot of the other schools around are closed.   Also lots of trees are down. . 

Here is something I just seen just WOW!!

LOL, that map makes it look like half of California will be flooded in a sea of blood.
 
That said, the mountains N of Santa Rosa have seen a LOT of rain!

You Californians are amusing!   :D
 
We get storms like this once or twice a month during the summer monsoon season, and they pale in comparison to the hardcore weather found in Kansas, etc.

That is what I love about PA, we get a little of ALL the shitty weather.  100F in the summer with badass thunderstorms, -whatever in the winter with 30 inches of snow.
 
I lived on the South Rim of the Canyon for several years.
Saw a lot of weather I didn't expect when I first spent a winter there.
 
Watched rain dry up after half way falling into the Canyon.
In 72 I saw almost back east type snow storms.
Rains and winds that either soaked you for an hour or so then the winds dried you out then tried to blow you into the Canyon.
 
One year we actually had below zero temps. for a short time due to wind chill or whatever.
 
No flooding here yet but I sure wish I had about 5 or 6 35 gallon plastic garbage cans to save rain water.
I collected 110 gallons in containers last week or so from another storm but this one is much bigger.
 
theres pics of some streets in fresno flooding already no flooding were im at yet but few streets going to overflow

Yes and AZ has water canals to handle all that water. We do not as heavy rain is not common here.
We don't have A/C either like y'all. :P

When stoopid humans pave over dozens of square miles of desert, and install only the bare minimum of drainage, the 2~5 inches of water dumped by a good gully-whumper of a storm hasn't a hope in hell of going anywhere except into the streets.
