Atmospheric river to bring over an inch of rain to Bay Area cities, flooding expected. A new atmospheric river has arrived in the Bay Area, bringing heavy rain and damaging winds Thursday morning. The Level 3 storm is threatening standing water on freeways along with the possibility of trees coming down and power outages.
Residents are advised to expect isolated flooding where there's poor drainage due to the significant rainfall totals expected to exceed an inch in many cities. The strong winds have been gusting at over 70mph, causing damage and disruptions.
With multiple flood advisories issued for standing water on roads, residents should exercise caution when traveling or venturing outdoors. Heavy rain will lead to poor drainage conditions that may result in isolated flooding, so it's essential to stay informed about the latest weather updates and follow evacuation orders if necessary.
Stay safe, Bay Area residents.

ugh, can't believe this just happens when everyone is tryin' to get back on track after a crazy year 
. flooding in the bay area is like, so not what anyone needs right now 
. and it's not even like they're prepared for this kinda thing - i mean, freeways are gonna be all flooded out and people are just standin' there, waitin' for help... meanwhile, trees are fallin' down and power lines are breakin' 
. and the worst part is, it's not even like it's a surprise anymore - atmospheric rivers have been a thing for years now, but still we get caught off guard every time 
. people need to step up their game when it comes to disaster prep 
.
think people in bay area were too excited for warmer weather already 
what's next? a hurricane or something?! 
cant even imagine driving through standing water 
like we didn't learn our lesson from last time... they need to fix those drainage systems for real not just patching up roads here and there 
. My friend's car got stuck on the highway this morning and they had to call a tow truck just to get out of it 
. And now they're having to deal with power outages too... not exactly what I'd call 'Bay Area charm' 
.
! I'm really worried about all these flood advisories and power outages... like, how are people supposed to get around? It's not just a little rain, it's over an inch in some places 
.
the thought of flooding on freeways is super scary what if there's a flash flood at our school? I just wanna be home with my family all cozy and dry 
but at the same time, i'm worried about our teacher's car getting flooded and them not being able to make it to class lol. i guess we'll have to check the weather forecast before heading out in the morning to see if it's safe to go to school 
. Can't we all just take a deep breath and plan accordingly? 
. And can someone please remind me how to use a flashlight without tripping over my own feet 
? Just kidding ( kind of )! Seriously though, let's all just look out for each other and stay safe, okay? 
. I feel bad for all those people having to deal with power outages and trees falling down on them 
. The bay area can get pretty crazy weather wise, but I hope everyone stays safe and dry 
.
anywayz, flooding is def gonna be a problem in the bay area - all that standing water on freeways is gonna cause some major issues. and don't even get me started on them trees... they're like, totally gonna come crashing down if it keeps raining hard 
if you do need to venture outdoors, make sure to check those flood advisories first. we can all look out for each other, right? 
I'm not buying all this fuss about atmospheric rivers. Like, what's new? We've had heavy rain before, right? It's just water, folks! 
The Bay Area's got storm drains and everything. I mean, sure, poor drainage is a thing, but it's not like the end of the world. Can't we just chill for a bit and see how it plays out?
It's not like the apocalypse or anything. Just some water and wind. We'll get through it! 
The bay area is like a flood zone or something idk how they can't just do better infrastructure, it's not like we're asking for the moon here. And now my friends are gonna have to deal with flooded freeways and power outages... meanwhile I'm over here just worried about my plants dying 
. Atmospheric rivers are wild, but at least they're a sign that summer is finally here, right?
