A weaker system on Wednesday into Wednesday night will make way for the strongest system in three years to hit Southern California on Friday and this storm system will bring a lot of flooding, being the region has been so dry and thus people in the flood prone zones need to start preparing sandbags and doing flood preparations along the hillsides.

The system, currently out in the Pacific, has a strong southerly jet influence to it.  The storm is set to hit on Friday.  Upper divergence and jet dynamics suggest that heavy rain is likely south and west of the mountains, bringing in over two inches of rain in a short period of time, with higher amounts in the foothills.  The system will be the strongest in three years.   Continue reading “Southern California Major Storm Coming, Flood Preparations Underway”

In a world where a place that sells sandwiches topped with crumbled up GMO Fritos is touted as healthy, it only makes sense that the woman promoting this restaurant to help fight childhood obesity is in charge of making up rules that are geared to keep kids in line.   Continue reading “FLOTUS and the USDA Ban Junk Food Ads from Schools, but Promote Neurotoxins as Healthy Choices”

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — While tiny houses have been attractive for those wanting to downsize or simplify their lives for financial or environmental reasons, there’s another population benefiting from the small-dwelling movement: the homeless.

There’s a growing effort across the nation from advocates and religious groups to build these compact buildings because they are cheaper than a traditional large-scale shelter, help the recipients socially because they are built in communal settings and are environmentally friendly due to their size.   Continue reading “Tiny houses help address nation’s homeless problem”
