And then there’s this tsunami alert today.
There was a ton of flooding on flat roads and highways during the last week+ long storm session. I saw several lanes impassable on 101, and several spots in SF where a car could easily have gotten flooded.
All the alerts I got were basically "please don't drive" and not "you're gonna die!", which I think is totally reasonable.
I've gotten the warning and my street is perfectly fine... and then I look at social media and cars on the street are half-submerged just 20 blocks away.
You might not even be aware of elevation differences when they're gradual.
I guess people can go on twitter and read some random posts.
Of course, when I tap on the notification and open the app, I see that it's actually driven by an air quality alert because the AQI will be 112 (which isn't even that high.)
Come on guys - the dictionary defines weather as, "the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness."
