Tornado warning canceled for parts of Santa Cruz County on Christmas
The National Weather Service office in San Francisco issued a Tornado Warning Thursday afternoon for central Santa Cruz County, citing radar-indicated rotation within a severe thunderstorm. The warning was shortly canceled.
The National Weather Service said, “At 12:40 PM PST, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located over Scotts Valley, or 6 miles northeast of Santa Cruz, moving north at 35 mph.”

Re: EARTH....
OK. This was supposed to be a La Nina year. La Nina years do not have 4 inch rain storms in December. They are like last year, with way above average winter temperatures, dry weather, and strong wind. The other name they give it is "El Fuego," because that's Spanish for fire.
This year the data taken from the Pacific Ocean said "La Nina on steroids." Indeed, December was hot and dry. Was. That changed two days ago. We've had a truly historic atmospheric river of a sort that is associated with the exact opposite point in the Southern Oscillation.... the El Nino. First we got an absolute deluge on Christmas Eve. Today was supposed to be same or worse.
We woke up to bright sunshine. Half an hour ago, we finally got the torrential rain storm forecast for today. It lasted all of five minutes, and the sun stayed out the whole time. Awesome rainbow.
This is just silly. We are indeed in uncharted territory regarding the weather in California. Obviously, anything goes.

We got the tail-end of the storm in Coronado. The news said we'd received about 2 inches of rain over a couple of days but it was more like 0.75 inches. We did have high winds around 22 mph. Our complex had one of our 50-gallon rain barrels (full) blown over but other than that, nothing like what LA had.ZoWie wrote: ↑Thu Dec 25, 2025 4:17 pm OK. This was supposed to be a La Nina year.

We got 2.4 inches on Christmas Eve, as predicted. The only problems were in the usual canyon zones and also on one freeway that always floods. They never fix it and they never will. We got 0.3 inches on Christmas, rather than the additional 2" that had been predicted. This morning it's raining, sort of.
The massive atmospheric river predicted by the models did happen, but north of here. Pretty nasty up there.

Taiwan hit by 7.0 earthquake off Yilan
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck offshore near Taiwan’s north-eastern county of Yilan late on Saturday, shaking buildings across the island, including in the capital Taipei, authorities said.
Taiwan’s weather administration said the quake hit about 32 kilometres off Yilan at a depth of 73 kilometres, an offshore and relatively deep event that helped limit the damage.

Re: EARTH....
The San Diego area got hit by a big rain storm on New Years Eve. Normally, the most we get is a half-inch of rain and anything more than that and we get flooding. Downtown San Diego had 2.44 inches or rain over the last 24 hours. In Coronado, we got 2.33 inches. Fortunately, I haven't heard on the news of any real damages caused by the flooding. In January of 2024, San Diego received 2.73 inches of rain and because the city didn't clean out their storm channels over 1,000 homes suffered flood damage.
In Coronado, we had a sink hole at 4th St. and Orange Ave at mid-morning. 4th St. is the direct route from North Island Naval Air Station to the Coronado Bridge to San Diego. Traffic was backed to the base as well as on adjacent streets as people tried to find an alternate route to the Bridge. I was headed to Navy Base San Diego to do some practice in bowling but the traffic was so heavy it was impossible to make progress so I came home instead. The sink hole wasn't caused by the rain but by a broken water main. The local water company and city crews worked into the night, repaired the waterline, and resurfaced the road. I walked by the area and it was back to normal. I'd have hated to be one of the crew that were repairing the road on New Year's Eve.

Re: EARTH....
The Rose Parade had one of the longest runs of luck that any big parade has ever had. It rained once on their parade a few years back, and before that they had a remarkable record of no rain for a generation or more.
That changed yesterday. Poured for most of the parade. Has climate change finally caught up with the snooty old white people in the remaining tiny rich enclaves of Pasadena, and their annual Thing?
No rain at the bowl game but the Rose Bowl is now part of the BCS. No more annual U$C vs the Big 10 champ. The BCS procedure is too complicated for my poor brain. It's good for the rest of the US because someone besides U$C, Michigan, and Ohio State gets to come for the Rose Bowl. Let's hear it for diversity.
It's bad for LA, though. I know, boo hoo hoo, but still. College football in LA is in a severe decline since this happened. In general, West Coast college football is not what it used to be, despite Oregon having a good year. The best players all sign with the Big 10 and SEC where they're on TV every week for the NFL scouts. Good for the rest of the country, but otherwise the Rose Bowl is now usually ho hum time here. Sic transit gloria mundi.

After devastating fires, L.A. made one part of rebuilding easy. There’s much more to do
In the days immediately after last January’s Los Angeles firestorm, state lawmakers and civic leaders promised to turbocharge the rebuilding effort. For California, where the permitting and construction of homes is infamously slow and costly, the scale of destruction stood as a singular challenge.
A year later, the charred homes, the melted appliances and the toxic ash have mostly been removed, the dirt beneath scraped and then carted away. Many of the residents whose houses were spared have returned. Permits for reconstruction have been filed, architects and contractors hired. Battles with insurance companies, utilities and banks persist, vacant lots and blackened trees abound, but look around and — here and there — you’ll find new construction.

It's that simple. At some point some bozo was going to torch the Temescal trail head where the overprivileged kids partied it up, and the place was going to go up like last year's Christmas tree. The timing was spot on. Doomsday finally came to pass in a year without rain, and the sickening descent into hell began.
A loser Uber driver who suffered from typical Palisades kid neuroses torched Skull Rock on New Year's Eve. Bureaucrats fought over whether to dig up buried embers, the reservoir stayed empty, the water supply remained insufficient, along came the yearly 90-mph January wind storm one week later, and whoomp... look Mom, no Palisades. It's exactly the end of Towering Inferno when some actor says we should leave the burned out mess just the way it is as a monument to all the bull shit in the world. We really shouldn't, but at least everyone can watch all the Nooz tramp through the empty lots and do the anniversary groove-thang. Right now, that's exactly what the Palisades and Altadena are. Monuments to bullshit and apathy.
It's probably coincidental, but still, the juxtaposition with Trump's inauguration was the final poetic touch. If you put all this in a screenplay, no one would believe it. Reality is like that.

Shoveling snow may feel like a routine winter chore that's nothing more than annoying and tiring, but hardly dangerous. According to meteorologist Caitlin Kaiser, that assumption can be a costly mistake.

Mediterranean Faces Dangerous High Flood Risk as a Deep Low Drives Extreme Rainfall
A potentially dangerous heavy rainfall event with a high flooding risk will evolve across parts of southern Europe and the Mediterranean this week, associated with persistent southeasterly flow at low levels and abundant moisture in place. A combination of stratiform and convective rainfall could result in widespread 200-400 mm rain accumulations with the upslope flow onto Corsica, Sardinia, and southeast Italy.
The Mediterranean region braces for a period of extreme rainfall, driven by a train of deep lows driving southeastward from the North Atlantic into southern Europe. The most affected areas will be Southern Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia, Malta, and Northern Algeria.
