This is the second time I recycled a post video due to first-recorded hurricane winds off Big Sur, California, and widely-reported heavy rains, flooding, and warnings or evacuation orders affecting "over 11 million people" in the state. February 2, 2024 Los Angeles Times reporters Haley Smith and Grace Toohey quoted UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain explaining the rainstorm, "It’s a combination of El Niño and global warming as to why the oceans are so warm over such a broad region. It’s not 100% clear exactly the extent to which each is a relevant player, but they’re both significant. The long-term trend, of course, is mainly because of climate change and the warming of the oceans associated with that.”
Just north of San Francisco, Lagunitas-Forest Knolls had winds 102 mph (about 164 kilometers per hour) according to CNN's Robert Shackelford. ET, February 5, 2024.
On February 4, 2024, Los Angeles Times reporter Rong-Gong Lin II described the California storm as "potentially historic" quoting meteorologist Robbie Munroe with the National Weather Service in Los Angeles.
Nora Mishanec at San Francisco Chronicle reported "California storm upgraded to ‘bomb cyclone.’ Here’s what that means, and why it’s dangerous."
The big storm follows "hundreds [of rescues] from homes and cars" on January 22, 2024, in San Diego according to Andrew Keatts January 23, 2024, in AXIOS San Diego.
