- baq 3y ago> Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future NHC is good at their jobs. US cities thankfully have been spared. Let's wait for the desert/mountain areas.
- WillPostForFood 3y agoNHC was solid with their rain prediction: Los Angeles and San Diego are both expected to see about 2 to 3 inches of rain. Substantially more rain — 4 to 7 inches or more — is probable in the mountains to the east of Los Angeles and San Diego. What got screwed up was translating that into "OMG HAIR ON FIRE", because that level of rain happens every few years, and while it can cause damage, it is not that big a deal. It is rare in summer, but not rare in Southern California.
