California's next storm may bring 'life-threatening' flooding.

LA Times (Yahoo): 'Prepare now': California's next storm may bring 'life-threatening' flooding.

Officials across Southern California are warning residents to prepare for what could be "life-threatening and damaging flooding" beginning Sunday, as a storm system fueled by a massive atmospheric river brings heavy, sustained rainfall and dangerous waves to an already soaked region.

This storm could dump more than double Thursday's rainfall, which caused significant flooding, road closures and water rescues across the region.

"This is a potentially dangerous situation, and we are urging everyone to be preparing in advance," Ariel Cohen, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said Friday.

The Guardian: Would you drink toilet water? California approves wastewater for human consumption.

No, I wouldn't. Environmentalists have fought against, and won, in court cases against the construction of desalination plants. The alternative is drinking their own filtered urine. If only Cali was near a large body of water . . . 

Thank Bill Gates for recycled water from urine and feces. He's been pushing this idea for over ten years ⏬
