Well, howdy there, internet people.
It's Beau again.
So today, we are going to talk about California, the weather,
everything that's going on out there,
and do a little public service announcement.
OK, so it appears that another atmospheric river,
a thin band of precipitation, will
be coming in by the information that I have.
It's supposed to show up tonight.
So this is going to bring more rain with it.
Areas of particular concern appear to be
central and northern California.
It's worth noting, you already have roads that are flooded,
closed, damaged.
You already have people that are isolated.
There are roughly 15 million people
currently under flood watch.
There have been people that have been lost.
And there are some areas that have mandatory evacuation.
It's important to stay up to date with your local emergency
services.
So the information that they're putting out to local news,
super important right now.
The expectation is that there will
be another six inches of water in some areas.
This is six inches on top of what's already there
and the melting snowpack.
It has the potential to cause a lot more issues.
Now, in a situation like this, your absolute best defense,
the thing you need the most, is information.
Because you have to make decisions
based on the information you have at hand.
The more information you have, the better
those decisions are going to be.
So I would definitely stay up to date with your local news.
Check in on your phone, set reminders
if you need to, to find out exactly what areas are being
hit, how hard, and where the effects will end up.
Because sometimes rain can dump in one place
and impact heavily somewhere else.
So this is information that you definitely
have to gather and process and use it.
There are people that are isolated already,
and they're just going to have to wait.
They're going to have to do the best
that they can in the situation that they're in
until emergency services can get there.
When a situation like this arises,
you don't want to make the situation worse
by adding additional areas that emergency services have
to get to.
So stay up to date with all of the information.
If you are in any area that might even be remotely
impacted, make sure that you have
a steady diet of information today and into tomorrow
so you can make the right decisions.
Again, something that I mention any time flooding comes up,
If you go into your attic to get away from rising water,
please take something to make a hole in your roof
so you can get out if you need to.
My understanding is that a lot of these areas are near rivers,
and they're kind of accustomed to some of this.
But some of the areas being impacted are not.
If you have never dealt with flooding,
you do not want to be in your attic without a way to get out.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
