The article failed to mention an El Nino advisory lasting will into the
winter, which potentially means above normal rain for SoCal.
Also, a 12-hour steady rain as mentioned in the article is fairly common for
the mountains, given you have a whole winter to realize it.
A worst case scenario would be an early, heavy snowfall, followed by heavy,
warm El Nino type rain. Remember, sections of Hwy 2 completely disappeared
during the 2005 winter onslaught and took a couple years for that road to
open? (not El Nino, though)
