It's a ghost town here.

[Anti Marine Layer]

This is so dead that it might be time to abandon The Weather Forums, as I have tried to avoid the Politics Thread.

Ghost town

Rain total for Orcutt is now at 1.22" since yesterday. Very good.

[roadtonowhere08]

Started raining here around 4PM.  Steady since.  Nothing heavy though.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Starting to get heavy here.

[Anti Marine Layer]

We are probably in a pretty flood safe area as one night we had 7 inches of rain and nothing happened to our house. However at the nearby park a whole bunch of sidewalk paths collapsed into the normally quiet and slow moving creek which became a raging whitewater river.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Some eucalyptus trees are likely to fall down in the park that is the forest area of Lake Forest. 

[Thunder98]

Wind gusts peaked at 60 mph at Santa Maria Airport!

There will be doomsday stories in the news about how climate change is causing this.

[Anti Marine Layer]

We should be drought free for at least another year.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's the middle of winter.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It is not raining that hard right now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like the flooding may not be as bad as expected.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nice day

[Anti Marine Layer]

Not as much rain as expected. Most places still below 2 inches. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

DEAD!

Put up a gravestone.

I will be back for the Weather Forums March Madness 2024. This thread is pathetic.

I don't watch it much, but still look at the scores online sometimes. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Raining harder again as my post percentage in this thread approaches 100%.

[Anti Marine Layer]

So far 2.15" for Fullerton and 1.95" for John Wayne Airport.

[Thunder98]

Finally seeing some good downpours this evening

Amazing how shitty the flatlands have done with this event. Really shows how orographically driven it all was. I'm in the hills in south OC only like 10 miles from SNA, and we have had literally double SNA's total and are over 4" now.

[Dan the Weatherman]

I checked my rain gauge earlier tonight here in Orange and was at 3.35" and counting since Saturday evening.

I am surprised that there aren't more from CA on this forum, but Weather West (WW) has a much larger CA based audience. The fact there are more people on WW is why I post much more often there than I do here. It would be nice to have more people on here, but yet I wouldn't want to see WW lose anyone, either.

Very dense ground fog right now. Which is very unusual in the cold unstable part of the storm.

I can’t believe how quiet this forum is. SoCal just had a big weather week!

I guess what it all shows is a general lack of interest in active weather amongst those who live in coastal California (which is, after all, where most Californians live). Which sort of make sense, given how stable the weather tends to be there. Those who like more active weather apparently choose to live elsewhere for the most part.

[Anti Marine Layer]

The AR is going to pass soon.

3.71" so far for Foothill Ranch.
