Southern California Storm (This is thread two)

[countryjake]

47. After thread upon thread this yr about our country's Deep Freeze...

can you please explain to me why you are so critical of Nadin's attempt to put out the news of this storm that may be devastating to many in California? Heavy rain after a long drought creates dangerous conditions, or don't you give a fuck about that?

It's been on all of our local news up here, and I'm not even in CA and we're not expected to be affected. Amazingly, some do care. What a concept! Too bad you're unable to grasp that.

California cities order evacuations ahead of powerful storm

LOS ANGELES -- Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued for 1,000 homes in two foothill suburbs east of Los Angeles in advance of a powerful storm.

The cities of Glendora and Azusa issued the orders at midday Thursday for homes that could be endangered by debris flows from nearly 2,000 acres of steep mountain slopes burned by a wildfire last month.

"You've got a recently burned hillside here with limited vegetation and a very steep slope. It's a recipe for what the experts say is potential for a great deal of damage," Sgt. John Madaloni told CBS Los Angeles.

For days, both cities have been making extensive preparations including sandbagging.

California received widespread rain Wednesday and early Thursday from the first of two back-to-back storms. The more powerful second storm is due overnight.
