And people are afraid to live in FL 'cos of hurricanes? I'll take our weather-which warns you of impending disaster for a few days.

It's called climate change these days, but that would be a solid yes.

Sucks. Nothing to like about that. It's a not so rare weather event (several since the mid 1800s) and hopefully won't happen again for a long time. Hopefully they will rebuild, but with all the regs in Cal that may not be possible. I hope that's not the case.

- Ooook, you´re going well
- Nobody will notice that
- If I slowly increase master volume, will be unnoticeable in the mix

@JIO

how is your flooding situation going, did it get worse over Wednesday night/Thursday?

My neighborhood looked bad on Saturday, but seemed to fare better through the last one. However Saturday night into Sunday morning and again all day Monday aren’t looking good. I have concerns about my house, and sticking close to home through these storms. Not getting any work done but it’s not worth being out in these heavy storms, especially with the roads flooding, etc.

Imo, that's how it should have been referred to from the beginning, it might've been taken more seriously :meh:


Some water-news from the Sacramento area.....







Wind and rain was bad enough last night I worked (Wed/Thurs) we weren't allowed to pull doubles or empty trailers, only loaded single trailers

Ahh, yes, I am familiar. Was that the worst of it? If I recall, that little beach town is pretty low and near the shore.

yeah, and has a river going right through it and out to the ocean……floods this time of year are common but not this bad….

Since we haven’t had hardly any rain over the last year and nothing like a normal winter for well over 5 years, I think a lot of us forgot what winter storms can be like. But I think climate change will give these storms more kick in the coming years, so I hope we can prepare. I live very near the bay, just south of SFO, and, while they are building up the levee, I don’t see how that helps if the water is coming down and has no room in the bay to go, especially during high tide. There’s a couple “creeks” that pass by me each a couple of blocks away on either side of my house, which drain into the bay, and those were rather high during the Saturday storm and even after that rain stopped up until it started up again.
