    Last night, from about 22:00 to 01:00, there were sporadic bursts of gunfire. It was raining in intermittent spurts, and the wind was boisterous.

    In the #Los_Angeles metro, there were several water rescues, as flooding occurred. This includes one family whose off-road vehicle got stuck in flooded Lytle Creek after five inches of rain fell.

    Two of the four local (to my area of !SoCal) news sources actually have positive stories this week and last, along with the usual car crashes, burglaries, robberies, and murders. One would think this is the part of #Los_Angeles that used to be known as "South Central", instead of a desert area 100 miles away.

    One source is paywalled, so I rarely visit it. The fourth source is moribund, posting batches of 3-4 articles over few months.

    Pacific storm expected to impact !SoCal beginning tonight, including the #Inland_Empire. Portions of #I-15, #I-215, #I-10, #I-8 expected to be affected by snow. Mountains and passes could see up to 6 inches of snow. Gusty winds, with some places seeing up to 60MPH winds. Heavy rainfall in some areas, so expect urban flooding as well as debris flows & mudslides in burn scar areas.

    #NOAA / #NWS has been sending alerts for severe #t-storms with heavy rainfall and flash flooding most of today, covering much of #San_Bernardino County and parts of #Riverside County in !SoCal.

    A couple of those alerts covered areas near me. My personal phone got alerted for #flash_floods, but my work phone (which was also with me) did not. This illustrates why people should get NOAA weather alert radios for their homes and other places where they spend a lot of time. (NOTE: Your $EMPLOYER may not allow you to set one up at the workplace.)

    The alerts transmitted by mobile carriers are not dependable. In some areas, one carrier will have service and another will not. In other areas, multiple carriers may have service, but only one will alert. In still other areas, multiple carriers will transmit alerts, but there may be a few minutes between carriers.

    They used to cost around $40 at Walmart. You have to find out the NOAA alert code for your county and enter it into the radio. Then, when it picks up the code, it will emit a loud beeping noise, then switch on the audio of the nearest NOAA weather radio station ... which should be describing the alert details.

    In some places, the county-level alerts are not very helpful. San Bernardino County is one of those places, because the county is the largest in the lower 48 states, and covers an area from Montclair to Needles (multiple hours of driving apart from each other). But in most of the rest of the country, they are very helpful. For example, Wayne County, #MI (Detroit area) is relatively compact, so a weather alert there is likely relevant.

    California's Governor Newsom makes cautious step toward meeting the state's water needs. https://nu.federati.net/url/287349 [www latimes com]

    It is a tiny step, but #California is never going to catch up with its demand with these baby steps. There needs to be a massive statewide effort to meet 100% of projected water requirements for the next fifty years via #desalination. That includes residential, agricultural, industrial, plus supplementing natural rainfall to preserve forests and replenish ground water, and some extra water which can be made available for neighboring states' needs.

    I feel like these #pollies are so busy trying not to displease entrenched interests that they are missing a historic opportunity to lead the way in responding to a 22 year drought that currently affects a giant chunk of the US from California to Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and beyond.
