Reply to comment by deadman449 in Northern California sees more rain while the south dries out by bluelotus214

Love that this isn't even a controversial comment, despite this storm literally breaking 100+ year old records

Not to be the fly in the ointment, but wouldn’t it have to happen again in a year or two for that to be true, since it just broke the 100 year old records?

Right, that's the point of my comment, this is actually a 100 year storm. Not, as the OC put it and a bunch agreed, happening every year or two.

Of all the events to use as ammo or make fun or w.e., this ain't one of them. (Though still likely a result of cc)

I didn't read it that way, but I see where you're coming from. I read it as saying that this storm is one of a class of events that are (in general) becoming more common.

We had a solid amount of rain a couple years ago (Jan-Feb 2019). Broke records in areas around SoCal.
