First the Fire - Now the Rain

[longknife]

Almost 4 inches of rain is expected in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties — where the massive Thomas fire has scorched more than 281,000 acres — from Monday evening through Tuesday morning. Authorities warned of the potential for heavy rain, strong winds and “extremely dangerous” flash flooding and debris flows.

The nearly extinguished wildfire, which erupted Dec. 4, is the largest fire on record in California. Residents who live in areas burned by the Whittier, Sherpa and Rey fires are also affected by the evacuations.

This has been going on for millennia. The initial inhabitants were smart enough not to make permanent residences in the area. When fires and floods happened, they just moved away. But, the Spaniards and then Americans simply could not take hints from those dumb, uncivilized Indians.

Warmer oceans, warmer atmosphere, more evaporation, more water vapor in the atmosphere, more rain. Pretty damned simple even for simpletons. Houston.

More Bull Shit from the master bullshiter....(by the way, the oceans have cooled 0.2 deg C in the last ten years. And atmospheric water vapor is DECLINING.)

Its called normal cyclical environmental behavior... Even the old Californians know it and moved from the regions long ago...
