That's another hazard. Since there has been zero rain in California since April, the streets are slick with oil, from the cars which keep on driving. Very slippery, and skidding is more likely than during the rainy winter season.Not even close. We'll be lucky if oil gets washed off the freeways.
~~~~~~All that rain that's coming will keep a lot of the people home. I recommend taking advantage of that to get your EV charged up. It will be a great time to use a charging station with no waiting. Plus, EV's are great in torrential rain storms.
NOBODY should be in a car on the roads, during a topical storm or hurricane. Most likely power will be off (for a few days).

For the sake of the kids (too young to make the mistake of being Democrats)Man....why are you warning Californians? Especially the ones living on the coastal part of it? Lol
Nobody except California EV owners. They should show us how tough they are.NOBODY should be in a car on the roads, during a topical storm or hurricane. Most likely power will be off (for a few days). No charging.
Drivers driving in TS or hurricanes, break records in killing each other.Nobody except California EV owners. They should show us how tough they are.
Fair enough.For the sake of the kids (too young to make the mistake of being Democrats)
I see no problem with that.Drivers driving in TS or hurricanes, break records in killing each other.
California will exprience its first real landfall hurricane since 1939 (possibly downgraded to tropical storm status) this coming Monday morning. Being inexperienced with hurricanes , Californians could benefit from the advices of Floridians who have seen a few in our time. Here are some tips:
- If streets are flooded, and you still have electric power, and water levels rise the height of your indoor electric outlets, before this happens, turn off all power to your whole house.
- Most deaths from hurricanes occur from people electrocuted in their own homes, from water levels getting into electric outlets.
- Before the storm hits, get lots of water stored (bottles). Electric power could be out for a week or more. While humans can live for weeks without food, they cannot live for more than 3 DAYS without water. If store shelves are empty of bottled water, try collecting rainwater during the storm. A 55 gallon barrel can fill up during a hurricane or tropical storm in a few minutes.
- Storms could last anywhere from 3 hours to about 4 days (if the eye settles and stays in one place)
- Hurricanes in California are likely to be far more dangerous than in Florida. This is because of California's hilly topography. Hillsides denuded from summer fires, do not have the vegetation that can soak up the rain, and land without vegetation can soil erode quickly, causing flash flooding, mudslides, rockslides, and washed out roads. Sinkholes can also appear quickly. Stay off the roads.
- Although it is predicted that the 130 MPH hurricane force winds blowing just before reaching southern cal will diminish to about 70 MPH (weak category 1 hurricane), theses predictions don't always hold up. If the track of the storm moves slightly west, and the eye is over the Pacific, the storm could remain at over 110 MPH.
- If the storm is at 100 MPH or more, it is essential to remove, all things that the winds coukd easily pick up and toss around patio furniture, bicycles, trash cans, etc. If this flying debris hits and breaks your windows unprotected by protective film, and the hurricane force winds get inside your house, they will tear apart the inside of your house in one minute. Cover windows any way you can.
- Be up to date on frst aid supplies. You may not be able to get to a medical facility, and paramedics may -not be able to reach you.
- Sandbags can help to keep water from getting inside your house.
- Battery, crank and solar powered radios can help keep you in communication.
- small camping wood stoves can give you cooking capability'
- without power and ability to drive, you will be instantly tossed into the the 19th century.
The first rain of the season it's awful. Like black glass. But it's every year.That's another hazard. Since there has been zero rain in California since April, the streets are slick with oil, from the cars which keep on driving. Very slippery, and skidding is more likely than during the rainy winter season.
Keep the car in a garage if you have one. Don't drive.
I once skidded on that first rain in November. Totaled my car.The first rain of the season it's awful. Like black glass. But it's every year.
