Flooding is causing major problems from Santa Cruz, California inland especially. Parts of Lovers Lane in Hollister are flooding again and the river along Hiway 9 into Santa Cruz from the mountain is flooding and hiway 9 is closed. I watch people with water halfway up their windows inside trying to clean things up before the windows broke and it came through into their living area from the river. So, when the atmospheric river hit Santa Cruz and every where east to the Sierras it was a very warm storm from Hawaii area we call Pineapple express (or atmospheric rivers) it is also flooding the Lake Tahoe area as the precipitation is coming down as rain and melting snow causing flooding of rivers there except at very high altitudes where it is still coming down as loads of snow.
The other problem is everywhere north of about San Luis Obispo has had at least 160 to 200 percent of normal rainfall, but this isn't necessarily true south of this area in Los Angeles and San Diego and inland from these locations. So, Northern California might be flooding or about to flood like the Big Sur River is getting ready to Flood right now but this isn't necessarily the case in Southern California in all locations.

The “atmospheric river” returned with a vengeance
Tuesday to Northern California, where snow piled up in the Sierra Nevada
and coastal riverbanks were overwhelmed, flooding rural towns.
It’s
at least the third major storm series to hit the region since the
beginning of the year, building Sierra Nevada snowpack to heights not
seen in years. Many of the state’s reservoirs are brimming and the earth
around them is beginning to soak in the moisture.
The rain has ended the drought in much of Northern California, but it leaves state water officials with a dilemma.
California’s top water cops will decide Wednesday whether to extend the state’s emergency drought rules.
The staff of the State Water Resources Control Board has recommended against nixing the regulations, which have been in effect since June 2015 and would expire on Feb. 28.
If
the five-person board agrees, urban water districts up and down the
state would have to continue monthly reports on consumption, as well
as “stress tests” to certify they have enough inventory to withstand
three straight years of drought conditions.
The regulations would be extended for 270 days if approved at Wednesday’s meeting of the water board in Sacramento.
That meeting will occur amid conditions that are far from drought-like.
The
latest Northern California storm system centered on the Bay Area but
was widespread, dropping more than 7 inches of rain in Sonoma County to
the north and 6 inches of rain in Santa Cruz County to the south and
overwhelming coastal cities in between, according to the National Weather Service.
Flood
warnings were issued for multiple counties in Northern California on
Tuesday, with agencies expecting the Russian and Sacramento rivers to
overflow their banks as the rain and melting snow flow down the
mountains.
Highway
101 was flooded in Novato, a tree limb fell on a house in Monterey and a
mudslide flipped a vehicle upside down in Santa Cruz County, the
weather service said.
The San Benito County Sheriff’s
Office issued a voluntary evacuation order for residents near Pacheco
Creek after the creek flooded Tuesday morning. The area was flooded last
month during a previous trio of storms.
Atmospheric
rivers – warm weather systems that flow east from Hawaii and the
western Pacific – carry huge amounts of moisture and provide the
majority of California’s water, according to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.
The state has missed out on
many of them in recent years, but not this past fall or current winter.
California is on pace for one of its wettest years on record and has
seen its drought outlook dramatically improve since October.
The
biggest deficit remains in Southern California, where it rains more
infrequently and the watershed system isn’t as vast for local
reservoirs.
This week’s storms brought gusty winds and
dropped more than 2 inches of rain in San Luis Obispo and Ventura
counties and lesser amounts in Los Angeles County, the weather service
reported. There is less runoff from rain in the Southland because the
soil has to recover more moisture after years of drought, climatologists
say.
Another
storm that hits San Luis Obispo County late Thursday should begin
raining on Ventura and Los Angeles counties by Friday and could drop up
to an inch and a half of rain, the weather service said.
Friday’s storm is colder and is flowing in from the Gulf of Alaska, the weather service said.
Clear skies and warmer temperatures are expected over the weekend.

17-year-old Brooklyn girl beaten into coma by group of teens
NY Daily News
A 17-year-old Brooklyn girl beaten into a coma in front of her younger
brother died of her injuries Tuesday night, authorities and her family
said.
Ta’Jae Warner was declared brain dead Sunday, after she was beaten late
Friday outside the Ocean Towers on W. 24th St. in Coney Island,
prosecutors said.

Ta’Jae Warner was declared brain dead Sunday after she was beaten late Friday outside the Ocean Towers in Coney Island.
Family friends said she was kept on life support at Bellevue Hospital
so out-of-state relatives could say their goodbyes, and for organ
donation.
Sarina Agard-Forde, 18, is accused of pummeling Ta’Jae in the head
until she lost consciousness. She’s charged with felony and misdemeanor
assault, though prosecutors expect to bring more serious charges, said a
Brooklyn district attorney’s office spokeswoman. SLASHINGS, STABBINGS SPUR 2% RISE IN SERIOUS CRIME IN NYC

Island building.
The William E. Grady High School sophomore loved colorful outfits and performed dance routines with a group of classmates.
“She was very kind-hearted, loving, outgoing,” Pizarro said.
Community activist Tony Herbert on Tuesday called on anyone else involved in the assault to surrender to police.
“A 17-year-old girl was attacked by people who looked just like her,
you know. Black lives matter,” Herbert said in a Facebook video post.
This article is a summary of the closing milestones of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a United States stock market index. Since first closing at 62.76 on February 16, 1885,[1] the Dow Jones Industrial Average has increased, despite several periods of decline.

Logarithmic graph of the DJIA from 1896 through July 2011
Like most other stock market indexes, the Dow undergoes periods of general increase and general declines or stagnation. A bull market is a term denoting a period of price increases, while a bear market denotes a period of declines. Wall Street generally considers a bear market in session when multiple broad market indexes have a downturn of 20% or more in value.[2]
There are two types of bull markets. A secular bull market is a period in which the stock market index is continually reaching all-time highs with only brief periods of correction, as during the 1990s, and can last upwards of 15 years. A cyclical bull market
is a period in which the stock market index is reaching 52-week or
multi-year highs and may briefly peak at all-time highs before a rapid
decline, as in the early 1970s. It usually occurs within relatively longer bear markets and lasts about three years.
The following are the secular bull and bear markets experienced by the Dow since its inception:
1885–1890: Bull market. From its first close of 62.76 on February
16, 1885, the Dow rises steadily for five years, until reaching a peak
of 78.38 on June 4, 1890. This record would stand for nearly 15 years,
until the Dow closed at 79.27 on March 24, 1905.[3]
1890–1896: Bear market. The Dow plunges over 63% over the next six years, to set an all-time low of 28.48, on August 8, 1896.[4]
1896–1906: Bull market. After setting an all-time low during the
summer of 1896, the Dow quickly erases these losses, and eventually
reaches a peak of 103.00 on January 19, 1906.
1906–1915: Bear market. The Dow loses 48.5% of its value over the
next 22 months, before reaching a low of 53 on November 15, 1907. From
1906 to 1915, the Dow remains stuck trading between 53 and 103. The
index reaches a secondary low of 53.17 on December 24, 1914.
1915–1919: Bull market. After hitting a seven-year low in late 1914,
the Dow rises 125% over the next five years, reaching a new high of
119.62 on November 3, 1919.[5]
1919–1921: Bear market. The Dow loses 46.6% of its value in just
over 21 months, before reaching a low of 63.90 on August 24, 1921.[6]
1921–1929: Bull market. Over the next eight years, the Dow increases
nearly 500%, and eventually grows to a closing high of 381.17
(theoretical intra-day high of 386.10) on September 3, 1929.
1929–1949: Bear market. The stock market crash of 1929 precedes the Great Depression.
The Dow plunges to 41.22 (theoretical intra-day low of 40.56) on July
8, 1932, thus erasing 33 years of gains, in just under three years.
Although cyclical bull markets occur in the 1930s and 1940s, the index
takes 22 years to surpass its previous highs.
1949–1966: Bull market. The Dow posts impressive growth in the booming economy following the Second World War. Starting from 161.60[7] in June 1949, when P/E ratios
reach multi-decade lows, the index ends just five points below 1,000 on
February 9, 1966. The inflation-adjusted high set on December 31, 1965[8] would not be surpassed for nearly 30 years, until the Dow's first close above 4,700 on July 7, 1995.[9]
1966–1982: Bear market. Traders deal with a stagnant economy in an
inflationary monetary environment. The Dow enters two long downturns in
1970 and 1974; during the latter, it falls nearly 45% to the bottom of a 20-year range.
1982–2000: Bull market. The Dow experiences its most spectacular
rise in history. From a meager 777 on August 12, 1982, the index grows
more than 1,500% to close at 11,722.98 by January 14, 2000, without any
major reversals except for a brief but severe downturn in 1987, which includes the largest daily percentage loss in Dow history.
2000–2003: Bear market. The index meanders, and then plunges nearly 40%, to a closing low of 7,286.27 on October 9, 2002.
2003–2007: Bull market. A cyclical bull closing peak of 14,164.53,
reached exactly five years later, does not surpass the
inflation-adjusted high set on December 31, 1999.[10][11]
2007–2009: Bear market. A renewed bear is recognized in summer 2008
and multiple volatility records are set that autumn. Another acute phase
in early 2009 brings the index to new 12½ year closing low of 6,547.05,
on March 9, 2009, for a total loss of 54% in 17 months.
2009–present: Bull market. The Dow remains volatile during its
ensuing climb, losing almost 20% during the summers of 2010 and 2011,
however, by February 1, 2013, the index finally closes above 14,000 for
the first time since October 2007.[12]
The Dow continues upward to surpass its prior all-time record on March
5, 2013 and, by the end of 2013, sets a new all-time inflation-adjusted
high for the first time since the end of 1999.[13]
Incremental closing milestones
The following is a list of the milestone closing levels of the Dow
Jones Industrial Average. (5-point increments are used up to the
100-point level; 10 to 200; 20 to 500; 50 to 1,000; 100 to 2,000; 200 to
5,000; 500 to 10,000; and 1,000-point increments thereafter.)
1This was the Dow's close at the peak on January 19, 1906. 2This was the Dow's close at the peak on November 3, 1919. 3This was the Dow's close at the peak of the 1920s
bull market on Tuesday, September 3, 1929. This level would not be seen
again until Tuesday, November 23, 1954, a rather lengthy 25 years and 2
1/2 months later. 4This was the Dow's close at the peak on February 9, 1966. 5The Dow first exceeded 1,000 during the trading day
on Tuesday, January 18, 1966, but dropped back before closing that day.
It would take another six years and ten months before it finally closed
above 1,000 for the first time on Tuesday, November 14, 1972. 6This was the Dow's close at the peak on January 11, 1973. 7This was the Dow's close at the peak of August 25, 1987. 8The Dow reached an intraday high above 3,000 for the
first time on Friday, July 13, 1990, before falling back below by the
close. The average closed at 2,999.75 on Monday, July 16, 1990, and
closed unchanged the following day;[14] however, it would take until April 17 of the next year for the Dow to finally close above 3,000. 9The Dow first exceeded 4,000 during the trading day
on Monday, January 31, 1994, but dropped back before closing that day.
It would take another one year and less than a month before it finally
closed above 4,000 for the first time on Thursday, February 23, 1995. 10This was the Dow's close at the peak on January 14, 2000. 11This was the Dow's close at the peak on October 9, 2007.
