Weather service: We don't get hurricanes in the California Bay Area. Our ocean is peaceful! That's why we call it the Pacific! I love you lil bro!🤗

Also weather service: Warning citizen! Prepare for the hurricane shaped storm that will drop hurricane amounts of rain, and knock your trees over with hurricane force winds! But it's not a hurricane! Never call it a hurricane! We call it either a Pineapple Express, or a Unicorn Sprinkle, or a Gumdrop Hug! Pick up sand bags instead of weed today!🦄🌼☮️✌🏻

In before amateur meteorologists tell me that 65 mph winds are not 75mph winds.🙂

I lived in Houston. Yes, I know what a real hurricane is.

I'm just complaining because I was told that it never rains in Southern California.

@mekkaokereke

If CA had actual hurricanes, pretty sure it wouldn't have those tall-ass trees. (and OMFG I would not want to be anywhere near those forests during a real one).

@dr2chase @mekkaokereke You'd probably be safer there than anywhere else in the surrounding area. Sequoias/Redwoods have an interweaving root system that allow the trees to literally help each other stand tall, even if their roots don't go that deep.
