This storm definitely matches it's name. I was watching on the weather channel while someone described this huge storm. It has a cyclonic center out in the Pacific ocean and all the rain bands are fanning in a counter clockwise direction and since the center is stalled out to sea at present sort of much more rain than originally expected is going to hit California as it hits the California coast in a counter clockwise way storm band after storm band. Then it is going to go east from here and collide with the Polar Vortex and the Moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico and make a mess all across the U.S. all the way to Washington D.C. and then out to sea from there.
3 to 5 inches of rain are going to hit Southern California and parts of the Sierras. Under 3 inches are likely for most of the rest of California. The highest winds and the most amount of damage (wind and driving rain) up to 60 mph likely will be from Santa Barbara down to the Mexico border and inland from there. Mud slides are already a problem in some areas of the south land wherever fires occurred recently as well.
