[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s going to “hit” as a minor tropical storm. 1-3” of rain in SD and LA… [/quote]

and you understand that 1” of rain is a huge amount, right?[/quote]

This is so odd that 1" is considered a lot. I get it, but still. Completely odd.

[/quote]

1" of rain = 13" of snow.

It's a lot of water.[/quote]

It's not a lot of water in most places. Certainly not in DC. We routinely get 1"/hour, and storms that drop as much as 3" (or more!) in one hour.

They are forecasting 10-12 inches over the mountain and the inland areas. LA gets like 14 inches a year. They have a lot of tall hills and low areas that will flood. Palm Springs gets 5 inch a year. Palm Spring is surrounded by 7-8,000’ mountains. This will wash out bridges and roads, create landslides, etc.

That have had these before in the 1800’s and it cause a lot of problem with little population. Some areas will form huge lakes.[/quote]
