Heavy rains trigger debris flow at sites of recent wildfires in Northern California
Debris flows are occurring and already causing road closures in California on Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service, as heavy rains moved into the area near sites of recent wildfires. The NWS advised that it may be too late to evacuate, but do not attempt to cross a debris flow. Instead, take shelter in the highest floor of your home.
I'd be wary about any route, but especially Hwy 1.
Last night (returning from Frost), traffic was halted on the elevated section of 880 over downtown Oakland. Major flooding (cars could go through slowly).
82mph gust in Newport OR today, several squall lines crossing the Willamette Valley at the moment, and the low is still hundreds of miles offshore (35' + waves)
Part of my city is evacuating due to flooding, but I think I'm safe. I get a nixle flash flood alert about every hour, but the flooding is mainly near the creeks, and we're about ten blocks from the nearest creek.
I pulled the stitches out myself on Friday (Doc changed our visit to telemed), that was fun... but it's doing much better, starting to get my grip back!
Salem OR had a wind gust of 57mph (53mph official gust at the airport)
Meanwhile, multiple tornado / waterspout warning on the north coast / WA coast, don't think I've ever seen so many at once before;
From the NWS in Sacramento;
Through 8 pm, the rain continues and the Sacramento (City) precipitation total so far today is 4.84 inches. This now places us solidly in 2nd place for the all-time record daily rainfall since record keeping began back in 1877! Stay tuned for updates and stay safe.
12.6" of rain here in Kentfield/Larkspur which almost gets the most rain in Marin being in the immediate shadow of Mount Tam. My yard is totally flooded.....
In a matter of days we went from setting the all time record for the most days in a row without rain to breaking the all time record for the most rain in a 24 hour period. 5.44 inches in Sacramento.
One big storm or even a series of big storms won't break the drought. It was near comedy when a few western states declared an end to the drought a few years ago. This one is merely part of an ongoing 30 year trend of hot & dry.
Hard to ignore the fact that Lake Mead has dropped over 50 feet in the current water year.

Thanks Slick. We were super close. Had it been a little higher tide, say in Dec/Jan, we would have been screwed.
Hopefully the whole winter isn't like this, but it really now goes from one extreme to the other around here.
The final tally on Mt. Tamalpias (we basically live at the base of it), was almost 17 inches in less than 2 days.
The third-biggest storm ever recorded in the Bay Area, in terms of total rainfall and wind speeds.
Pretty wild here Sunday!
