I am happy?

I am sad?
 
Tomorrow I will take down the sun sail and move the deck furniture up against the wall. I just hope there is not as much rain as they are talking about as I am not going to "winterize" everything for 1 rain.

This is the first storm that I have seen that I live right in the path of it. I live in a canyon. I would think that might offer some protection.

It might well, but nevertheless, make sure that anything you have that could be blown down or about by high winds -- or, worse, become a projectile -- is moved indoors or tied down. And (this could potentially be a problem in a canyon) think about whether there's stuff that should be moved into some elevated place if there should be a flash flood. You shouldn't need to bother with moving all your furniture now, but just in case, your passport, birth certificate, deed, and other very important documents, if they're on the first floor, should be moved upstairs.

Same for you, @jjonn3 ...

Good luck!
 
I live in a recently (2020) burned area, so the county gives us estimates of mudflow every time rain is coming. They are giving us Phase 2 for this one, which is not bad. Helicopters have been telling the homeless to get out of the riverbed. They are releasing water from the dams. My mortgage and internet companies have sent me warnings. And we have been told there is a potential of power going out. They are taking this seriously.
 
Good. (y)

What we've learned on the East Coast (and especially in the Southeast, where I grew up) is that it's much better to have serious warnings and prepare for a storm that doesn't end up being too bad than only mildly preparing for a storm you don't think will be serious but turns out to be quite bad.

Our problem over the past few years is that storms seem to dump a lot more rain at a time in a particular place than they used to, and forecasters have not yet gotten good at predicting where exactly that place will be or how bad it will get. Nobody is yet accustomed to what used to be three months' worth of rain falling in three hours -- especially an hour or two inland from the coast, which is where it seems to happen a lot.
 
I know, right? This was a La Niña year and California still got a lot of rain.

I'm worried about Australia, which had those horrendous bushfires in 2019-20 and then had heavy rains and floods for two years -- that rain probably led to a bunch of growth that'll be fuel if it's another fiendishly hot summer there.
 
They just bumped us up to a phase 3 mudflow. It didn't go that high right after the fires when nothing was on the hills in 2020.

Los Angeles County Public Works has issued a PHASE 3 mudflow forecast for Land, Fish, Grandview, Ranch2, Bobcat (Monrovia, Juniper Hills, Devil's Punchbowl, Valyermo,) Lake, Tujunga, and Soledad Fires. A PHASE 2 mudflow forecast has been issued for the Getty, Saddleridge, Tick, and Colorado Fires. All other burn areas have been issued a NO PHASE forecast. The debris flow forecast is valid from Sunday August 20, 2023, at 6:00 AM through Tuesday August 22, 2023, at 6:00 AM.

The latest Debris and Mudflow Forecast has been issued by the Los Angeles County Public Works.

The police department just gave us an evacuation warning because of the mudflow. It is voluntary so far, though. My street is on the evacuation list, but they meant another part of the street. There is a section that backs up to the canyon wall that burned in 2020. And being that the canyon wall is so steep that water will come down fast to the homes just below it. We have k-rails put up after the fire to try to direct mud to go into the creek if we get a lot of mud. Hopefully that works if we do. The creek goes behind my home. That has helped to keep the mud from the canyon walls from getting to my home.
