During the 3 years I was stationed at Vandenberg AFB ('96-'99) we had at least one decent one per year directly over Pt. Concepcion.<br /><br />I agree with Brigid about going back there. No way, no how. I thought the coastal areas between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo were nice enough, but the rest of the state was like landing on another planet.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142221102961906077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-5962106458754716972011-01-17T22:37:19.138-05:002011-01-17T22:37:19.138-05:00I suppose that's one way for them to try to ju...I suppose that's one way for them to try to justify giving CA a whole bunch of federal money.perlhaqrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920117742664645165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-64433746895903818942011-01-17T22:21:39.320-05:002011-01-17T22:21:39.320-05:00It's called a Pineapple Express.

We get those all the time here in Washington State.<br /><br />The temperatures get about 10-15F warmer and it rains like mad for about a week or so before an Alaskan low rolls in and cools us off. Jet Stream taps into tropical moisture from north of Hawaii and pumps it up this way. Most of the rivers and lahar-filled valleys do flood.<br /><br />If they're just now figuring out that it's possible for those things to miss low and flood much of the various Valleys, then they haven't been paying much attention to anything outside of La-La Land.Adrian Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966665618865037355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-18179536430721210472011-01-17T22:13:23.895-05:002011-01-17T22:13:23.895-05:00I like the subtle hyperbole of their acronym "...I like the subtle hyperbole of their acronym "ARk".Hat Trickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789313677285831256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-21049786444639820942011-01-17T21:49:07.789-05:002011-01-17T21:49:07.789-05:00I lived there 8 years when I was going to grad sch...I lived there 8 years when I was going to grad school. Went through two earthquakes, one of which literally knocked me out of bed onto the floor as I watched a crack the size of Michael Moore's posterior form in the ceiling above me. Not a good feeling.<br /><br />Parts of the state are beautiful, but you couldn't get me back there with dark chocolate or a bullwhip.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.com
