From Los Angeles Times: ‘Pineapple express’ storm arrives in Southern California after pounding the Bay Area
"...where not only snow can be measured in feet 
, but rain 
as well..." 
#PineappleExpress is on it's way.
Not to here, though we may get more 
because of it, but to Northern California/Southwest Oregon
A #PineappleExpress would come in very handy right now.

Who is your favorite civil engineer?
Some people say Hannskarl Bandel who designed the cable-suspension system for Madison Square Garden.
Mine is Washington Roebling, along with his wife Emily Warren Roebling, who built the Brooklyn Bridge.
When it all comes together:
TWO #PineappleExpress events with extreme rain,
Spillways potentially opening on upstream (aging) dams,
Vegetation lost to wildfires,
Stormwater management system designed for the 20th century:
all together that raises the risk of major flooding.

Now this is a #PineappleExpress for the books! I helped clean up after the so-called 100 Year Storm in when I lived in #Aptos —Soquel was a mess— but #California simply isn't built for this much rain over such a large area. It's not Florida. It's not India or Brazil. Yet here we are.
#ClimateChange
"The first of the two potent atmospheric river storms started slamming Northern #California Wednesday morning and will sweep down the state through Wednesday night and target Southern California Thursday."
Some call it an #atmosphericriver Some call it the #pineappleexpress Some call it #elnino I think we should call it the #highcolonic #northerncalifornia
Dang that’s a classic #PineappleExpress trajectory for Sunday through Wednesday in the Pacific Northwest. If this pattern holds together, the moisture plume from Hawaii will raise snow levels and bring significant rain.
Some flooding and landslides wouldn’t surprise me but as the snowpack isn’t robust I don’t think there’s a widespread huge flood risk.

Seth Rogan and James Franco lighting up their 3-way "trifecta joint" in #PineappleExpress. Such a comedy classic, this one never gets old!

TIL: The University of Southern California was hit by a #tornado—and a strong one, at that—in 1983. Also struck was the junction of the 5 and the 110 downtown, and the area of #LosAngeles now occupied by Crypto.com Arena, where the #Lakers play.
#California might see a tornado or two tonight from the current storm system.

It's dumping rain in #Monterey #California right now. Is this another #AtmosphericRiver or #PineappleExpress? I don't think it's a #BombCyclone today? Having trouble keeping track of what extreme weather we're getting!
On the wind and on the water. Humboldt update. Small quake felt around 4 am. Still no power on Upper Jacoby Creek. 1/11 estimated restoration. #ca #earthquake #pineappleexpress #bombcyclone #storm #wtf
