There's a potential for 7 inches of Rain in the Santa Barbara Area(and that's just from this storm)

There likely will be another one on Tuesday the Weather man said. I looked at Google weather and it said that it would be raining non-stop from about 6pm tonight (Sunday) until about 3pm Monday then it would clear until Tuesday sometime when another storm would hit. Luckily, we are up on a hill somewhat and out of the flood plains or river areas or burn areas around Santa Barbara so we likely will be okay. Our Gardener already sand bagged around one of our sliding glass doors in the back and along our master bathroom door to keep any excess water out. Luckily, we likely are okay but likely thousands or more might not be the way all this is shaping up. The weatherman said there might be lightning storms and even tornadoes somewhere between Sacramento and Modesto I believe which is very strange and very rare.

Global Climate changes are making our rain more like Hawaii which might be really dangerous for places like Southern California where there is so much desert. The desert is likely the most dangerous place to get something like 7 inches of rain all at once because of flash flooding which can be really dangerous where there are no trees and not enough plants to hold the water back and slow it down as it moves.
