THE STRONGEST STORM SYSTEM IN 140 YEARS IN USA

AMAZING! THIS IS THE WORD WHICH I CAN USE TO DESCRIBE THE STORM SYSTEM. ON FRIDAY WHEN I HAD SEEN THIS SYSTEM'S BEGINING ON THE MODELS,I WAS WELL CONVINCED OF BIG HITS. Especially for the Surfs offshore California where the waves were 30ft. It was expected that the 160kt jet will do the work of creating LOW LEVEL JETS.The pattern started from California coast creating very very heavy rains and some Waterspouts. 

Here is some HEAVY RAINS and here is a record of it.

Selected storm total precipitation (in inches) from 7 am Sunday January 17, through 7 am PST Friday January 22:
