Haha touché.



Yeah, I'm just wondering what it's going to be like 5 hours from now. At this point getting home wouldn't be an issue because people are jumping off the freeway to go around it but who the hell knows what it will be like later today.

Thank god I live in central Petaluma. But, in reality, I shouldn't be thankful for that at all...

DriveClub's weather update is going a bit too far.

Avoid 280s where it connects with 101s. Water is flooded over the center divide!

really glad i took the day off now.

I like how well the median is containing it.

Cornballer posted that a while back now.

 

[Alcander]

Steady rain in palo alto, but nothing to write home about. Barely windy at all. Storm of the decade? Come on.

 

[ronito]

when is this supposed to end? Because it looks like it's mainly over in Sactown.

 

[m_shortpants]

It's now been raining/pouring for at least 4 hours in San Jose. Not much wind though.

Sewage backup will be from everyone's homes and businesses. Can't wait to see pictures of people playing in the standing water. >.>

 

[PseudoKirby]

keep in mind that even just a bit of water on the ground can cause permanent damage to your engine, so do your best to not be at full throttle.

WTF is this?

Oh sorry used to driving in New England...

 

[Nekofrog]

when i went to bed last night (2am) i could hear the howling winds, and feel it when i went outside to smoke.

woke up to a relatively calm rain storm. is the worst over?

wow that new drive club weather update looks beast! real life. Stay safe and dry everyone.

Central Petaluma...are you sure you aren't typing this from underwater?

 

[BoogerFart]

Ya, it's down to a drizzle over here. I've had golden showers wetter than this.

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Plan to leave work early and go out in this rain to Barnes & Noble for some Reese's peanut butter cookies and hot chocolate while perusing the manga aisle. #yolo #foshizzlemydrizzle

 

[PseudoKirby]

WTF is this?

Oh sorry used to driving in New England...

depending on the design it can be pretty easy to get too much water in the engine, and too much isnt alot of water really.

hydrolock is deadly to the engine. crack a block bend a rod.

 

[pooptest]

Central Petaluma...are you sure you aren't typing this from underwater?

Ha, possibly! I work in north Petaluma and it's getting pretty deep over here. Creek by work is nearing the brim.

Not as bad as RP. Fast-forward to 35 seconds... Hooters is flooded.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

It's just rain here in SF. It's like any other day but all my classes are cancelled and maybe work. So yeah, I welcome it.

 

[Rur0ni]

Take that, drought.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Take that, drought.

It will take months of drain to undo the drought.

 

[speculawyer]

really glad i took the day off now.

Holy shit! I'm sure there is a LOT of flooding all down the penninsula. My previous house which was in a designated flood zone may have some peoples . . . well, not my problems now.

 

[Dalek]

Take that, drought.

Not quite.

 

[sarcastor]

took this on the 101 north bound in south san francisco. There was a construction arrow sign on the shoulder pointing right. Just to emphasize the giant pool of water in the middle of the freeway across all lanes

Saw this on twitter - #bayareastorm is apparently blowing off manhole covers in mission terrace

 

[Verger]

Radar is supposedly showing more heavy rain moving into the Bay Area. At least where I am it has seemingly been raining all day. I certainly have not noticed it letting up since waking up this morning.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

The main indicator will be how much snow runoff we end up getting after winter ends.

 

[BoogerFart]

Ya, it's all about the snow pack.

 

[jamesinclair]

Thats what people fail to understand.

If this all falls as rain in the mountains, its not great. Snow is needed. Natures reservoir

That doesn't even look real... Hope everyone is staying safe and dry-ish.

Haha... just caught this. Cute.

 

[studyguy]

Not quite.

Are we always going to check out lake Oroville every time with the misleading images. No one will dispute the area is currently in drought mode and that the dam is producing less power but those images were always misleading as fuck. Lake Oroville IS ALWAYS low as a motherfucker depending on the season (low as fuck in winter high as shit in summer) The 2014 comparisons were from January iirc, meanwhile the 2011 popular ones were during summer.

Here is Oroville in Winter 09.

“I guess I learned to not follow a car that’s obviously a lot bigger,” he said after his silver sedan went idle in 2 feet of water next to the San Bruno Caltrain station. “Despite my Ph.D., I obviously am quite stupid a lot of the time.”

 

[sarcastor]

since it will be raining nonstop all day, one can only assume it will be more flooded? unless Caltrans gets a water pump in there or something?

Some great photos from SF Gate

Holy shit! I wonder if someone is getting the boat instead on the highway.

How long till someone in SF starts up an Uber-ripoff, but with boats.

And yet, some people are going 30-40mph down El Camino.

I mean, kayaking in a Safeway parking lot. Holy crap.

 

[fauxtrot]

If it gets this bad in midtown Sacramento, I'm taking my canoe out!

 

[AstroLad]

ugh why are people this dumb?

Not saying here necessarily, but generally it can be hard to gauge the depth of water sometimes. People are driving through rain and puddles all day and don't notice the one that they can't make.

Who knew that GAF had its own drought defense force? Feels like a few people in this thread are just waiting for someone to hint that this precipitation might be good for our drought (which it is) and race to post the "NO!" .gifs.

Wait where is this? 280 connects to 101 in two different spots. It connects in SF and it connects in SJ.
