L.A. Burn Scars Now Part-Time Pools, Full-Time Danger Zone
Southern California is experiencing a soggy nightmare no one asked for as a strong Pacific storm showers SoCal with rain doses rivaling that one sad tropical fish's weekly bath. Starting Thursday, northern and central California watered themselves with 1 to 2 inches of drizzle, escalating to a 3-to-5-inch luxury soak in coastal mountain ranges, because why not? San Francisco, the diva of weather, claimed nearly 1.5 inches Thursday—almost 75% of what November usually brings, making it the most emotionally committed Bay Area rainfall since chad rain hit Twitter. The Los Angeles area is now chilling under a Level 3 flood risk (out of the ominous-sounding 4), as an atmospheric river—because calling it just wind is too boring—slathers coastal burn scars like Palisades, Hurst, Sunset, Eaton, and Bridge in water. Burn scars usually catch some death-by-fire heat, but now they're acting like rejected sponges with soils that hydrophobically shun rain. Mayor Karen Bass valiantly issued evacuation orders for the most vulnerable, turning parts of L.A. into ghost towns from Friday evening through Sunday morning. Saturday brings even heavier rain with storms possibly throwing hail, speed-tornado cameos, and power outages, while the soil whines 'No more!' The heaviest rain then politely retreats late Saturday, but showery hangovers continue into Sunday, ensuring your carpool route remains a mudslide obstacle course. Nature’s subtle way of saying: welcome to Southern California's new watersports season.
