  1. 2x the amazon. In what??? 5 minutes? A thousand years? Wtf!?

  2. I’m sick and tired of these weather people thinking they come up with a catchy phrase I can use it’s just over and over again

  3. Once in a thousand years only. Called ARK(Atmospheric River 1000) Storm.

  4. With very long dry days and high heat and now a huge down poor. Is it safe to say this is a recipe for dangerous landslides?

  5. I feel like other news sources watch Ryan hall videos and then report

  6. Before there was an "atmospheric river" there was lots of "rain"….before there was a "bomb cyclone" there was a "low pressure system". Amazing what being on earth for 58 years learns ya.

  7. One of these flooded Canada last year and cutting off a city due to the deluge

  8. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18 NKJV

  9. Fill the lakes, rivers and oceans. Sick of this drought then flood. Be normal

  10. We definitely need it.

  11. NBC = Propaganda & Nonsense

  12. Of course I see this right after watching A Day after Tomorrow

  13. ok so this should stop all that talk about a trout right ??no there's always something with these people. they just have their own agenda and it's to control .

  14. Droughts, floods, and idiots oh my.

  15. YES It A River From Los Gatos reservoir down to Santa Cruz

  16. Now Governor Gruesome has the perfect excuse to order another mandatory lockdown in Commiefornia…

  17. I hear a lot of doom and gloom.

  18. Why isn’t the liberal main stream media reporting about our worthless president vacationing in St Croix where is nice and warm while people in this country are suffering through massive blizzards and freezing temps. You know you all would be reporting on it if it were a Republican.

  19. You know that the US government has been modifying the weather since before Vietnam right? Here in Utah they seed the clouds to create snow.

  20. Nah they keep spraying the sky with them chemical trails cover up the sky and if y’all notice they start early in the morning like around 730 to 8

  21. This is bad why ur in a drought better figure out how to get that woter to your dryed up lakes and reservoirs

  22. You have to take the bad with the good. These rains should help the Reservoirs, bottom line. 2090? Give me a break.

  23. Take note, all these phony scientists that blame “greenhouse gasses” for this coming gigantic rainfall amounts in 2190, will be dead. No accountability. It is sad that people accept this BS that these folks put out. Come on folks, do just a bit of research about so called man made climate change. Hint, follow the money.

  24. All thanks to China and Russia and all the pollution. We get to rotate into a dead oxygen free zone they create. Keep pushing them wars there and we're all going to be washed away here.

  25. It's Scripps "Institution" of Oceanography, not "institute".
