That's about what the South Bay saw on the NYE storm. Peninsula & SF got about 5", mountains up to 12". Seems to be roughly comparable in raw precipitation.

That's about what the South Bay saw on the NYE storm. Peninsula & SF got about 5", mountains up to 12". Seems to be roughly comparable in raw precipitation. The concern over this next storm is that the ground is already saturated and the creeks are already overflowing. In a normal rainstorm like the one we just had, the first inch or so is absorbed into the ground, then the rivers start rising and mudslides start happening. This time, we're going to start seeing those effects from the very start of the rain (which is already happening - it's raining now).
