Lmao that car flipping wasn’t Mother Nature. That was careless driving 😂🤣
Hydroplaning.
while speeding during the biggest storm of the year lmao. Genius move. @@SusanKay-
Stupid is as Stupid does!
@@SusanKay-While you are technically correct, it’s still due to careless driving! Driving too darn fast for the conditions…. If they were driving slower, the vehicle would not have lifted off….‼️
Sadly ,a lot of people in California don't know how to drive in this type of weather. Here in NH, this is just another regular day for us.
SUV flipping on the 5 is just par for the course regardless of weather
Driving too fast for the amount of water on the street,
maybe with a little steering, could result in being unable to control the car.
At least nothing worse happend
🙏
That firefighter had the most firefighter mustache of mustaches
Fireproof
Mustaches are hot
Super Fireao
Or the most italian plumber’s mustache
Rainstorm in 2024: that atmospheric fire hose 😂
Probably the cleanest southern California has been in 20 years
You're not to bright are ya.
@@imdone1965your just mad because your house is under water 💧 😂. Don't worry there's more coming 😉
@jesusloves4244 nope, nice try ding dong...
Now go give your mommy her phone back...
@@imdone1965You know sooooo much ..
@mauricamcginnis4063 I know more about weather then you do , I guarantee it!
Now go give your mommy her phone back...
Tip: don't speed on wet road and slam on bakes. Bonus tip - don't slam on brakes on ice either.
You can slam the brakes on ice unless you have an ancient car without abs.
Oh, whats next? Dont hit the trees? You're taking all the fun out of driving
Weather manipulation.
Operation Popeye.
Cloud seeding.
💯@@onestepbeyond7240
To all families good luck and God speed and to all first responders God bless and stay safe and thank you so much as usual
Insurance companies are going to come up with all kind of creative ways to deny 99% of these claims.
I don't even think most insurance companies support California anymore after all of the wildfires a couple years ago 😬
Bcuz they knew exactly what global warming did
Prayers to all of people in California Nevada and everywhere else in the world
Driving a camper thru a flooded road?? Hello???
I'm not going to miss my camping trip this year!!
Drinking game - every time they say " ATMOSPHERIC RIVER " chug one down, you'll be hammered by the time the newscast ends......
Chug two as a bonus if they throw "climate change" in at the end
What the back is Atmospheric weather?😮
AMERICA HAS RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF FROM FLOOD.
Floods have a right to defend themselves from America
Should be no more complaints about empty reservoirs.
It’s crazy how all the floods are happening where they used to be lakes
thats like 4 times a week in miami
I mean, yeah. But unlike Florida, SoCal is a desert, so the soil isn't able to absorb the rain waters fast enough, which leads to severe flooding and mudslides.
Can any residents share some light on this? Seen a few people saying it wasn’t much of an issue, some blaming the location being prone to this sort of disaster, and the news being exaggerative. Regardless, I hope all are safe.
I am here now. It's just heavy rain. Like every heavy rain. I don't really see a difference in this one. I also don't live up in the hills where most of the action is.
A lot of Southern California is hills, canyons and valleys. Not really flat terrain. So for some who are at higher elevations in well designed track home communities they already have proper drainage systems in place. But other semi-rural areas are still on septic tanks and there’s no where for the water to run except downstream and creeks start to form.
Also the soil is so hard sometimes from how dry it is that water won’t really go into the ground it will just sit on top.
My house is in the desert, this is the only rain we will see for the year but I currently have a river of water running across my backyard 😂
You should check out the video on how a flash flood starts. Very cool stuff.
LA county is near the bottom of the Tehachapi mountains, which are really just giant sand dunes with some grass and a few shrubs on them, so when there's torrential downpour these dunes can wash out pretty bad and bury things in sandy mud. There's not much solid ground in California until you get up north around the Shasta Mountains and beyond, levies were made in the central part of California and a lot of the subdivisions are in floodplain areas these levies were also made with loose sandy material mixed with regular dirt so they don't hold up well, to the east of the central valley is the Sierra Nevada's, its Mountain range runs parallel to the border of Nevada and through most of the state till it hits the East Tehachapi's the Sierra Nevada's rise rapidly once you get past the foothills, there's only a couple places were you can pass into other states and they're unpassable during the winter months due to the steep terrain and constant snow, they produce rock slides, avalanches and mudslides because they are loose rocky earth mixed with sand. Does this paint a better picture in your mind?
I grew up in southern CA. Now I'm a truck driver. I've been to every state during every time of year. I'm back in CA to do a run during this storm right now. This much rain anywhere else would be nothing. The real story is the dismal flood control and inability to prepare for rain. The news is simultaneously exaggerating and deflecting to get headlines while not blaming any political allies for the total dysfunction of civil engineering in the state. The highways are covered in 1-2 inches of standing water. Lots of car spinouts. I'll answer any questions I can from my perspective. Just might be a little while between my stops tonight.
PS. If a tsunami Ever hit California, it could undermine the Earth underneath the Sierra Nevada's and cause a nightmare scenario if it can get through the San Joaquin/San Jose mountains.
*It never rains in Southern California*
Obviously not
Great song!
It usually doesn't rain in Southern California, much like Arizona. My eyes don't shed tears but boy they bawl when I'm thinkin bout ya.
This is so cliché.
Those counterclockwise storm systems have been wicked. Sorry California is in roughly 10 year cycle going back decades. My family is from the IE and SD I lived there 30 years. Starts with drought, then firestorms. Next is what’s happening now deluge then landslide’s We lived through all those and a few solid 🤷🏼♀️earthquakes for good measure.
I even drive on I 5 Carlsbad and find myself in a sudden torrential rain with zero visibility at freeway speeds so everyone slowed down but one person flipped upside down right in front and a few lanes over from me. There just happened to be a SD PD and he hit his lights trying to warn people to slow down I got off my exit and my heart was beating out of my chest. It was a waterspout just off shore. I think the scariest is firestorms. They shaped my psyche as a kid. Had to pack my bug out bag and sleep in our pajamas shoes at our side of bed just in case we had to evacuate. The Santa Ana winds play a role. It’s a state of extremes 🤷🏼♀️
Blah blah lol 🤣
“I moved to CA because the weather is just to die for!”
Holy cow. Prayers people
Reminds me of the flood we had in July highland falls Ny. It blew apart roads bridges homes. Millions in damages and a woman lost her life. We had 3 feet in our basement it blew through our fence. Destroying everything in its path.
It's been flooding like that in a lot of places. Part of KY was hit bad last year.
Prayers for the state of California
Us Oregonians call it rain
WE Oregonians. Hello ? Leave off the word Oregonians. Now say Us call it rain. See how ignorant that sounds to normal Americans who speak English ? Be better.
@@tommytomtom5531 Meth?
As an Oregonian, STFU. If we had this level of flooding you would be singing another story. We can't handle this type of flooding no matter how smart you think you are.
Us New Englanders call it rain too! lol
Ok oregano
Happens about every 25 years.
Damage goes up because they build more stuff right back in the same mudslide areas, expanding the roof areas and paved areas and increasing the runoff problems.
yea the el nino 20 years ago was a bit more devasting then is one, then we went on a 20 year drought. it that time again i guess. mud slide got worst cause they cut down a lot fo the trees ont eh hill side that hold those dirt together with it roots, u take out the tress nothing is hold thos dirt together and that what u get massive mud slide. tipical lefty, she have to throw in the climate change cause it to be this bad in at the end. lol
I live in so cal. They show the same collasped garage over and over. It's rain, folks! This is regular rain for other people. We're just not used to it. So over blown. Ha Ha. Good pun!
Take a pill hunny.
I'm sure you'd have a different opinion if that was your house that was destroyed in a landslide....
We are use to nonstop rain for 3 days? You must live in Texas. No, we aren't use to this much rain over days without end. Duh.
I'm sorry sir. I live in the south and have never seen a car trapped in mud like that.
@@hansonel It's all the rage to be as cold and cruel as humanly possible while waving your flag and hiding behind the cross.
remember when they complained about having no rain at all lmao
Someone doing the rain dance like no is watching
@@cdvoices😂😂😂😂😂
Mother Earth doing her thing. We are just ticks on her surface.
This
that was Barry Manilow's piano man
First people complain that we need rain now it's too much rain.
Kudos to whoever built the retaining wall on the right at 3:09.
Your right on man.
I skipped ahead to check out the wall 😂
Praying for US citizens!
the fireman's mustache is the real story here
I want to know where that house that got destroyed by a landslide is from. I would like to know what areas a prone to mudslides
Newsome declared a permanent state of emergency? 😂
This is nothing compared to the great flood of 1862. Everyone worries about earthquakes in California. I would definitely check a flood map of that one if I ever moved there.
Agreed, but they couldn't help themselves with throwing in the climate change narrative at the end
@@fidtru8615It's an unusually large amount of rainfall for the area. Climate scientists have predicted unusually heavy rains will be one result of climate change.
You can pretend none of it is happening. But that won't stop it from happening.
Prayers 🙏 goes out to the people of California trust in God ❤
The car 🚙 flipping was insane as hell
Wow, they have been saying for years that Cali was going to be under water!
California being blessed with a lot of water!!!
Thank u David Muir❤
THIS happened back in 1995 (I think).
It rained NON-STOP for it seemed like WEEKS!
Flooding EVERYWHERE
I will never forget it, because THAT SUMMER our tree produced the biggest,
beautifulest, most DELICIOUS apricots that we had ever seen.
Meh, at least the rain will clean that shithole up!
OMG!!! I cant stop laughing🤣😂
So is any of the water collected or does Nevada get screwed as they drain Lake Mead,
HEY NOW I KNOW WHERE THE CAR POOL LANE IS😂
I just hope to goodness that someone finally made some changes to LA’s concrete river so that can capture and send all that water to a reservoir
God will not be mocked!
"watch as this guy robs a bank as the floods flow down this main street .."
me: well god damn thats some rain!
The driver that flipped the SUV thought physics didn't apply to him. He/she learned that he/she was wrong. I'm glad the person is okay.
Sunny California
"Seems it never rains in southern California.
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours."

Unless you have a damn good reason to be leaving your home during a storm, you shouldn't. These dumbass's who put themselves in harms way and then risk the lives of rescue workers is so selfish. I say just leave them to mother nature and her fury.
Such as when it is getting pushed over by a landslide.
Does water cause movement in the tectonic plates??
It all depends the area you live in
Here in LA is just another Rainy day
superb
Yeah, 40 years ago we called it winter and a rain storm.
Now why all the fear mongering.
Are you blind or just ignorant? 40 years ago was a different time. Maybe climate change hasn't been on your radar but it should be.
Thoughts and prayers to the victims
Beautiful work
Dude gnarly waves..wait…
A Ford truck would have never got stuck like that
And, up to six FEET of snow in the Sierras.
Don’t drive through water. Hydrolock will damage your engine.
They spent billions on their train to nowhere. It could have been used for flood mitigation and measures to keep some of that water for the dry times.
Another internet dummy who has no clue
Just wait until you look up prop1 from 2014. They spent $7.5 billion meant for flood control and water storage. Nothing was built and nobody talks about it.
Is it just me, or is California literally incapable of handling any kind of weather at all? If they get rain, then everything starts flooding, people are asked to evacuate, and the city starts washing away. If they don't get rain, then the whole state goes into a drought, residents are called upon to conserve water, and the state gets ravaged by wildfires. Like there's no in between at all. It's just always a problem.
Clueless
You seem obsessed about ca tho
It’s just you. California is a large state with different geological terrain (mountains and deserts) that are more hazardous in weather conditions compared to majority of other states.
No its not just you. They have terrible leadership who invest money in all the wrong places. Yeah if it gets really hot in summer they have to do rolling blackouts, their freeways take over 10 years to upgrade if not more, it's just a total mess over there brought on by the democratic super majority (meaning there's no one there to challenge what they're doing?
@@SA-hz1rs How in the world do you interpret my comment to mean that I'm obsessed about California? Please elaborate on the cognitive leaps you took to reach that conclusion.
@@knIfebOmb769 You’ve misread my comment bud…I was comparing the geographic landscape of the state to other states when severe weather conditions occur even if it’s just rain. Obviously not comparing rain to a tornado or hurricane, so don’t get so worked up
The flip was in Boyle heights?
Be sure to keep traveling. When it's flooded.
Alot of homeless poo piled up in the street
Ooh my. lol
They use it to fertilize the grapes
"Rain should wash away all the homeless people too. I don't know where they are going."
What happens to an electric car in a flood.
Really because I live in so cal and it didn't rain much at all
mother nature is pissed, be warned......
so superb
Well at least the drought conditions have been alleviated
... The moment less than 24 hours of rainfall causes you to realize it didn't take millions or billions of years...
With key buzzwords and constantly overblowing everything, I have a genuinely difficult time figuring out the severity of the event.
It's only severe for houses built on steep hillsides and the bottom of the canyons where runoff water is funneled to.
unstable ground- whoi do we sue?
hannity
Jeebus
It came to pass and yet unfolded elsewhere 👀
❤❤need to cut growth-may take two summers to dry out soil
I have a feeling this system is gonna go over us here in Colorado where it’ll be a snow dumper.
California under a lot of pressure
A little bit of rain and you people exaggerate...
God have mercy on us. ❤
My aunt lives in las vegas we are living in our last days Jesus coming back
Lets hope it doesn't stop raining for at least 40 days and 40 nights. Then another 40 just in case. God will punish the wicked states
May God be with them.
I never watch the news but I seen the river going by my front door and thought "maybe I should see how we're holding up" . Maybe it's enough rain to wash away all the corruption 🤷
Why would anybody drive thru water if nothing else the car gets damaged
"Pray for rain" they say
They kept complaining about droughts, now let it rain as much as it can
That suburban got all swallowed up
Did you just say there was an avalanche reported in Nevada?
Am i the only one that feels like the words "Avalanche" and "nevada" should not be paired together in the same sentence.
Reno gets snow all the time.
Playing that Haarp they are!!
Clever 🤔😉
Some times you just have to flush twice.
Geez complain about the drought and then complain when the rain comes to fix it...
Turning away from god is not a very good idea.
Some people already know.
Anyway. I saw myself in a prison room. With rough stone walls and iron bars.
That's whzt my life is.
But what the wall was pierced by a f* bright light I've never seen in here and I saw myself Jesus Christ's arms. I was almost dead, on the ground, that's how I feel, that's how majority of humanity feels. His clothes were so bright, it's not something you'd even see in your dreams. I've never seen so much love, even from my parents. Three or four angels were with him with white bright clothes and they were looking at him with such admiration. One said '' our king ''
Ironic rain coming when they were told to stop stealing all the Colorado river.
No taxes for public services.
🙏🏼
Keep living lawles over there! 😇😇😇
Maybe is a sign this storm, the sign of mercy for all.
IS THAT USA OR CENTRAL AMERICA?
