During a break in the storm.
Santa Cruz, California (1/5/23)
#california#santa cruz#it's been wild#capitola and carmel are flooded and being evacuated#a few piers have been taken out#natural bridges state park has lost one of its cliffsides#the local reports are saying ocean swells are 20-30 feet higher than usual#meanwhile those of us up in the mountains are hunkering down with camp stoves and lanterns#crossing our fingers that a tree doesn't fall and take out the cabin#i'm sure some folks out there are like 'ugh californians are overreacting' but like#we haven't had rain like this since 1847#we don't have the infrastructure and also we've been in a drought for...idk like over a decade?#we desperately need this rain but oof it's gonna be a time and a half in the process#also our wildfires in the last few years have been so bad that whole swathes of land are still burnscars#which means no vegetation to hold the ground together#when you pair that with sudden heavy rain you get debris flows which can swallow roads and houses#so like...it's A Lot of different things. not 'just' rain.
