Good evening,
A vicious storm, and one of the strongest to hit California
in at least half a decade, will dump drenching downpours to areas that have
been severely affected by recent droughts, however, this system will also bring
damaging winds, flooding and mudslides through the end of this week.
The storm, one of several to move over the western coast in
recent days, has the potential of becoming the biggest rain producer for the Golden
State in nearly a decade as this system will roll onshore with an abundance of
moisture. An end to the drought that has been plaguing this region for far too
long is good news to those who have been affected but too much, too fast will
bring about negative conditions that will dampen any good brought by it.
Winds exceeding 60 mph along with flooding from over half a
foot of rain will cause power outages due to downed trees and power lines as
well as travel disruptions both by air and ground which may lead many to cancel
or rethink any outdoor activity as the flooding and strong winds can cause
reduced visibility prompting motorists to be on alert. Another concern will be
that of mudslides that may become all too common due to the heavy rain
expected, therefore property owners should also be vigilant to what Mother
Nature has in store.
Enjoy your evening,
Jen Gonzalez
