This is the Friends Vistory Debating Society. Special edition Pacific Watch is Jeff Bliss.

The rains continue, the storms continue. We start in Orange County, and we go to where the flooding is,

0:12.6

where it could be, with more rainstorms, more pineapple expresses. Jeff, a very good day to you.

0:18.7

I saw Kern County in the southern part of the Central Valley. I saw Fresno County in the central

0:25.4

part, Tulare County avoiding flooding, but Monterey County. Any other counties now dealing with

0:33.1

evacuations in flooding? Good evening, John. Those are the ones that are really feeling it,

0:38.6

that are getting hit hard, but really you have had flooding problems or alerts. As you mentioned,

1:34.4

real rains hit us. I've seen photographs of the greater's clearing roads. Is it is it a

1:41.7

deceptive picture or it looks like the snow is three or four stories high? Is that what I'm actually

1:47.8

seeing? You're actually seeing that's correct. If you go to places like mammoth mountain, which is

1:53.6

very popular, ski resort area in central California, the snow is now up close to 600 inches.

2:01.2

When you look at it along the roads there in the towns and the surrounding transit routes there,
