Wed/Thurs: "Bomb cyclone" aimed at California [View all]

This looks serious, in the sense that we are already (thankfully) saturated, but more heavy rain in a short period, combined with heavy winds and colder temps, means landslides, trees falling and power outages.

So, today is the day to fill your gas tank, charge up your devices and power banks, sandbag if it applies, etc.
