Nope. The greatest gift would be unimaginable amounts of snowfall on the west side of the Rockies. Rain doesn't fill Lake Mead. Snow melt does.

And all those floods in Colorado in the past few years have been on the wrong side of the mountains and end up in the Gulf of Mexico.

True. When we were driving back and forth between here and Iowa numerous times last year all the swollen rivers and streams were on the eastern slope. Upstream rain like OK and TX had earlier this year wouldn't hurt.

If you got a foot of rain in the Lake Mead area it might raise the lake a few feet. We need 100 feet.

So snow in the western Rockies...lots of snow.

We were in Dallas many years ago when they got 10 inches in a half hour. What a mess.

Those hurricane remnants don't produce that much rain (6-10 inches) as far from landfall as Las Vegas (or Phoenix). Phoenix had one really large one last year (Norbert), the worst of those I can remember. This year, not so much (yet). They really aren't that frequent a problem.

Hurricanes have been hitting the West Coast? Since when?

You can call that a smart a** remark but it's really not... many hurricanes form down in that area of the pacific and it's not uncommon for them to make landfall in southern Baja or west coast of Mexico. More often than not any remnants that are moving due north get taken over by the jet stream and head east from there...

I doubt our area gets much if anything out of this.

Hello Blanca?

The atmosphere has changed and strong wind gusts have started.
