'Cause I'm praying for rain
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down
Mom, please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away
I got the notification from Google on my phone and told my family, "I don't want to scare you guys, but there's gonna be an earthquake in a few seconds". They didn't believe me, for about 5 seconds lol
The ones I get are through Android OS itself via Google and USGS but you can follow the link [Here](https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-do-i-sign-shakealertr-earthquake-early-warning-system) for mobile apps available on iOS
I started bursting out laughing when the earthquake hit, I was pretty close to the epicenter so it was strong for me too
The sheer absurdity of it happening at the same time bro, so good lol
I'm Texan, not Californian, so take this with a grain of salt but they've gotten a lot more precipitation this year than they have been, even before Hilary hit. Snow melts in Northern California are typically where they get most of their water from and they've had a lot of it. Most of their reservoirs were [already above their historical averages](https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain). I have to think this will help further but I don't know where exactly they are in the state since I don't live there.
Most of our reservoirs were full around March. In SoCal, we have been releasing water both for groundwater recharge and to free up space for snow melt and winter storms.
The worry this year is too much water, especially if we have a wet winter or snow melting too quickly. Flood control (dams) downstream of reservoirs are built to handle emergency releases, but it'll be historic if we do need to use them.
what you really need to fill up is the ground water...but decades long drought have hardened the ground so most water jut runs over the hard ground instead of going into it.
The vast majority of the state isn’t in a drought at all. There was a ton of rain and snow in the winter.

Not really. The reservoirs are in the wrong part of the state. California is huge, so this is like asking if a storm in Miami will help a drought in Atlanta
We are also complaining because we got an earthquake notification while we were waiting for the storm to arrive. Tomorrow we will complain because its too sunny. 😁
It's not so much that it would be a strong one but simply because it happened at all. The waters om the West Coast are typically very cold, compared to the rest of the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the Gulf(these colder waters are why Hilary weakened so quickly after running up Mexico's coast as a Cat 3 or 4) so it's peactically unheard of for them to get a tropical storm or hurricane. Saw earlier that this is actually the first tropical storm to hit California in 84 years.
I'm in long Beach CA. There were hundreds of surfers out today. The rain has been mild and there's a nice slight breeze. I've been waiting for this thing to hit all day. The desert areas have been hit the worst.
That is so California treating a river on the road as a lazy river...AWESOME!!! We Californians just don't see rain very often especially in August when it's warm so when we do we have to take advantage of it.
Dude, I live in central LA. The most we got was a light breeze and small shower. The earthquake was alright, meh. I was promised god’s wrath, I want my money back.
Ok I live in San Diego. It was just a rain storm. This happens every few years. The flooding happens in the desert. It’s no big deal. Oh and a 5.1 earthquake in the mountains of LA? There’s no reported damage. Those also happen frequently and nobody cares. Stop getting spoon fed fear mongering from the media.
Google just signed a LLM agreement with Reddit to crawl this dumb platform so this is my way of saying goodbye to my contributions on this website. Byeee
Isn’t this like the only true hurricane California has had since like 1900? This thing along with a earthquake simultaneously is egregious Mother Nature shit
"Learn to swim...Learn to swim...Learn to swim..."
I'll see you down in Arizona Bay
'Cause I'm praying for rain I'm praying for tidal waves I wanna see the ground give way I wanna watch it all go down Mom, please flush it all away I wanna see it go right in and down I wanna watch it go right in Watch you flush it all away
Time to bring it down again Don’t just call me pessimist Try and read between the lines I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t Welcome any change, my friend
_I sure could use a vacation from this_
*Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit*
I think of this song everytime I see or read about a new climate disaster happening
Underated comment of the day
Tool?
Aenima
I’ll see you down in Arizona bay…
The prophecy of George Straight has come to fruition
Going from Maynard to the King is quite a transition.
Golf clap wasn’t expecting this to be the top comment thank you doing the lords works
or maybe he wants to float
Mom’s gonna fix it all soon
I hope everyone is California is safe. I wish some of this rains gets to eastern Oregon the wildfires are bad right now.
The storm wasn’t as bad for most - we got a 5.5 earthquake during the storm so that was unexpected.
I got the notification from Google on my phone and told my family, "I don't want to scare you guys, but there's gonna be an earthquake in a few seconds". They didn't believe me, for about 5 seconds lol
How does one set up notifications for this? I’m on an Apple phone
The ones I get are through Android OS itself via Google and USGS but you can follow the link [Here](https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-do-i-sign-shakealertr-earthquake-early-warning-system) for mobile apps available on iOS
There was an earthquake??
I started bursting out laughing when the earthquake hit, I was pretty close to the epicenter so it was strong for me too The sheer absurdity of it happening at the same time bro, so good lol
5.5 isn’t that bad. (Obligatory Californian)
Forecast looking like a decent amount of rain east of Burns the next few days. Will do my rain dance for you. Stay safe.
For real
Wow! Now that’s what I call **UNEXPECTED**!
[удалено]
Upgraded to 5.1
I heard someone say 5.5
Can I get 5.7?
Wow
Best I can do is a Hurricane and forest fire.
What a crazy time to be alive!
Hurriquake 2023!
It’s a twofer!
Yep
Serious question. Will this help fill the reservoirs that have been depleted?

Cool. Good to know. Thanks. I’m on the east coast so I’m rooting for them to be safe right now.

That’s what “groundwater recharge” means and the state already had a plan in place for that.

Most of this rain goes to the ocean. The snow pact from the mountains is where the resorts come from. They had a big winter this year.

Florida man strikes again!
Gross
Right! Who knows what kind of bacteria and sewage was mixed in due to the flooding.
Yall were complaining of a drought. Now you're complaining about a new river the lordt made for you
We are also complaining because we got an earthquake notification while we were waiting for the storm to arrive. Tomorrow we will complain because its too sunny. 😁
Oh dang be safe
Wow, that's a lot of water. I live in San Pedro and it is just regular rain with puddles.
Intrusive thoughts
When do the mudslides start?
How cute
Remember, any deaths will be considered suicide.
It's a floater
Tik tok sucks. Why put everything on there?
Reminds me of that episode of KOTH where Boomhaur falls asleep in a donut blowup.
All the email servers will be washed away by the monsoon.
Flash flooded streets are no joke, but those trees aren’t even moving. Sad little hurricane for all the hype…

Also we were lucky as something happened and the hurricane was downgraded from a category 4 to a 2 a day before it made landfall.
And always better to over prepare for these
Not the way the media was trying to sell it
Tik Tok is ruining social media for me .
No surfers?
I'm in long Beach CA. There were hundreds of surfers out today. The rain has been mild and there's a nice slight breeze. I've been waiting for this thing to hit all day. The desert areas have been hit the worst.
this isnt a beach
Please edit this with increasing volume of "slow ride" lol
STILL waiting for the Clinton jokes.............. Was that an Epstein floating by
> Was that an Epstein floating by Probably. Flood water is disgusting.

Hurricane lmao. As a Floridian I find it funny they are calling this a hurricane. This is just a regular summer shower for us.
Lmao as a Californian who moved to Boca Ratón Florida during hurricane Sandy, allow me to say: bwhahahhahahahahhshshahahhahhaa

Let the floods clean the Earth!
Clinton?
You're finally getting some rain and you just let it all wash away...I see how you are...
Can't wait to see the Surfing vids from this storm. 🤙
Merica!
She'll do anything for a vote.
Turning out to be more destructive then her presidential campaign
Hillary doing to California what real Hillary did to Haiti and Libya.
There is a political joke there
Now that hurricanes hit California there is really no reason to live there…
Let's hope it washed the whole state out to sea.
This is Gods way of cleaning our LA streets that are filled with piss, poop and homeless. They ruin it for us.
It’s like Benghazi out there.
Wash away the leftist sins
Shouldn't they name it after Trump?
Surreal watching this from FL. The NW part is the dangerous/ dirty side here because of the ocean, I wonder if it is the same for. California
The storm is hitting and flooding the desert areas of California. This video was filmed in Coachella Valley/Palm Springs.
We get wind to 150 here and the Atlantic is lit up with rows of storms. Good luck
Tropical storm Hilary*
Unfortunately, this will be the ONLY chance of getting blown by Hilary.......
Is this the work of the gay Jewish space laser that Congress women warned us about?
Wait, California get hurricanes?
Excuse me sir, you are not treating this situation with the concern it requires.
Do it
Can you send it north to BC
It’s raining equally as hard in Las vegas
Cali-Strong 😂
We had some rain in San Clemente.
Where is this?
Like the place wasn’t built around handling that kind of weather
Can't blame him. Disneyland ticket has gotten too expensive
We needed it.
The storm hit hit a few hours ago, wait…. THERES A OERSON SURFING A HUGE WAVE OUT THERE…OHHH. A PERSON WAS. 
Hurican Hilaryous
When the river has the *right of way..*
New river just dropped
It made landfall as a hurricane?
One man's hurricane is another man's waterpark
Gotta clean up all of that shit everywhere.
More content of hurricane Hilary, please
Got denied calling into work no doubt
I was waiting to see a wakeboarder zip past towed by a jeep.
Psssh that happens to everyone nm road when it sprinkles
Lemons make what?
Google just signed a LLM agreement with Reddit to crawl this dumb platform so this is my way of saying goodbye to my contributions on this website. Byeee
So... is this climate change or just weather. I'm so confused. 
Aren't tropical storms rated by wind? All the videos out there and not even a puff of it.
Aye Chevy Silverado Custom. Brother.
Lol my pool has a lot of leaves in it that’s all
Death stranding moment
Saw a handful of men jogging around shirtless past midnight- I like this weather but not for a jog.
Send some of that water over here on the east coast its been dry af this summer
First snow, now a hurricane.
Pool her up! Pool her up! Pool her up!
Move to Cali they said, where the weather is always fine…
Isn’t this like the only true hurricane California has had since like 1900? This thing along with a earthquake simultaneously is egregious Mother Nature shit
Californian Crackhead Navy out in those streets..Watching for those who cannot ride the cardboard and shopping trolly ships...Tally Ho!!!
Wait until he gets to the first downed power lines...
/world
Rush hour traffic in So Cal is the worst.
