Hurricane Sandy
battered the mid-Atlantic region on Monday, its powerful gusts and
storm surges causing once-in-a-generation flooding in coastal communities,
knocking down trees and power lines and leaving more than five million
people — including a large swath of Manhattan — in the rain-soaked
dark. At least seven deaths in the New York region were tied to the storm.

December 4, 2012 SAN FRANCISCO —
A new storm system made its way Tuesday through already drenched
Northern California, prompting renewed flood concerns in parts of the
region. Rain had been falling along the coast and inland areas, but the
heaviest rain was expected early Wednesday. Coastal mountains could see
as much as six inches of precipitation before the storm moves out on
Wednesday, the National Weather Service said. These storms, aptly and
more technically known as atmospheric
rivers, bring huge amounts of moisture across the Pacific. They are
narrow bands in the atmosphere that funnel moisture from the tropics
into more northerly latitudes. Over the course of several days, or even
longer, the moisture in the system is dropped on a wide area and can
potentially cause flooding and reservoir overflow, as has happened in
some West Coast communities with the current system. That system also
brought strong, hurricane-force winds to some regions and dozens of
inches of snow to others.

New Duffer Guest of Bill BTW, Jim Smar, showed up with Rick

different names.
