This terrain here is hilly, typically a layer of dirt over rock.
Non-native shallow-rooted trees, like the super tall eucalyptus, tend
to fall over when it rains and gets windy.

There are little slips and slides everywhere on steep slopes, and the

..and raging floods like nowhere else, until lately with all the global warming related disasters.

We\'re getting a little rain now.

The worst floods here were in 1862, before Climate Change was
invented, but there weren\'t as many people to be affected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Flood_of_1862

10 feet of water in a region that averages maybe 20 inches per year.

In the summer, the soil dries out and compacts. Then when the rains

Our seasonal stream, Islais Creek, is running. Class 0 whitewater.

Beaches and snowbanks in this one. The fat one, Mama Cass, was
supposedly the only one in the group who could dance.
And I thought it never rained in California....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmq4WIjQxp0

Wrong state! We are in Northern California.

Ca should be three or four states.

And forget the bikini babe idea. The beach girls here wear parkas all
year and the surfers wear wet suits and earplugs.

The loss of polar ice is probably destabilizing the familiar jet stream winds, like the
events of 2010 (heat deaths in Moscow while Pakistan had unprecedented flooding).

So, this is \'climate change\' like we were warned of, and won\'t be a predictable thing until
our knowledge of stratospheric winds gets better. Other than high-altitude balloons, how
does one investigate those? Will there ever be a predictive capability for as long
as a year? This is still within the 2 C envelope deemed \'manageable\', so... we should
expect more kinds of surprises in coming years.

Yes, it\'s impossible to add reservoirs, and water is released for the
benefit of some ugly little fish, a smelt or something.

Besides storing water, reservoirs also provide flood control. In many
reservoirs, they are allowed to fill to 100% capacity, only to be
intentionally drained to about 60% of capacity prior to the start of
the rainy season to make room for runoff. This is called \"drawdown\".
If the reservoirs were at full pool year round, flood control would be
impossible. Another way to look at it is a reservoir that is used for
flood control and starts out at 60% of capacity for flood control is
only 60% efficient at storing drinking and agricultural water.

John ;-#)#

Nope. You can recover stored energy from filter capacitors. However,
once 40% of the water in a reservoir is drained to provide flood
control reserve capacity, it\'s gone (unless there\'s another dam
downstream). Pumped water energy storage would work, except the
storage capacity of such energy storage systems are tiny compared to
the storage capacity of the major reservoirs.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity#Worldwide_use>

Locally in Santa Cruz County, we have the Loch Lomond reservoir with a
capacity of 2.8 billion gallons. Finding an ecologically correct
section of river or valley that can provide that much water storage is
not easy or cheap.

Incidentally, about half of the areas water comes from the Santa
Margarita aquifer.
<https://www.smgwa.org/media/GroundwaterSustainabilityPlan/0_S.Margarita_GSP_ExecSummary_FinalEdits_forBoardReview.pdf>
The aquifer was not being replenished by rain and surface water
sources to the point where salt water incursion had become a problem.
Since 1980, the ground water level has dropped 200ft resulting in the
formation of an agency to prevent further depletion:
<https://www.smgwa.org/SantaMargaritaBasin>
<https://slvpost.com/santa-margarita-groundwater-agency/>
and the construction of recharge basins. Building a bigger capacitor
is not going to work when the problems are an erratic source of power
(drought), excessive discharge rate and leaks.

Sounds like some high velocity gusts.

We have no damage at our house. We had a roof lake and front of house
waterfall, but that\'s fixed. And we finally located a decades-old
intermittent leak. Turns our that the combination of wind and rain
channels water into a badly designed chimney cap.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/co7nm5ken91avu5/Chimney_Cap_1.jpg?raw=1

The two caps in the background are better. There is so much bad design
around.

I guess I could fix it myself, but it\'s easier to let a pro do it.

We got a break between storms and everybody with cabin fever is out
with dogs and kids and mud boots.

This terrain here is hilly, typically a layer of dirt over rock.
Non-native shallow-rooted trees, like the super tall eucalyptus, tend
to fall over when it rains and gets windy.

There are little slips and slides everywhere on steep slopes, and the
occasional big one with boulders.

Lots of houses have retaining walls so they can have a bit of garden.
In the summer, the soil dries out and compacts. Then when the rains
come, the dirt expands and pushes the walls over. It takes serious
anchors to withstand the forces.

Our seasonal stream, Islais Creek, is running. Class 0 whitewater.

I\'ll add more pix as things get worse. Lots more storms are expected.




It\'s all clear and sunny. No more storm porn pix.

A little sanity:

I got a few hundreds of the $1B damages, probably from flying bullets (rocks). Dented panel, headlight casing and small back window. Fortunately, not for the wind-shield.
Sounds like some high velocity gusts.

Yes, probably weeks ago when the wind hits 40MPH. My side windows are (natural kind) bullet proof. I need wind-shield shield next time.
