What Is This “Atmospheric River” That Is Flooding California?
[excerpted] The San Francisco Bay Area is getting flooded with relentless rain and strong winds, just like it did a week ago, and fears of rising water are now becoming very serious. Major news stations, weather channels, Web outlets and social media are all suddenly talking about the “atmospheric river” that is bringing deluge after deluge to California, as well as the coast of Washington. What is this thing? How rare is it? And how big of a threat could it be? Here are some answers.
Not interested? In 1861 an atmospheric river that brought storms for 43 days turned California’s Central Valley into an inland sea 300 miles long and 20 miles wide. Thousands of people died, 800,000 cattle drowned and the state went bankrupt. A similar disaster today would be much more devastating, because the region is much more populated and it is the single largest food producer in the U.S.
So maybe 1861 was an oddity. Not really. Geologic core samples show that extreme floods like the one in 1861 have happened in California about every 200 years, since the year 200 A.D. So the next disaster could be coming around the bend. The West Coast has actually been slowly constructing large, specialized, meteorological observatories that can sense atmospheric rivers as they develop, so forecasters can give early warnings.
If you want to know more about these monster storms, check out the feature article by Dettinger and Ingram. Dettinger will also be speaking at the American Geophysical Union annual conference in San Francisco next week. I’ll be there, too—with 22,000 scientists, right in the thick of the storms, should they continue.

Atmospheric rivers? Real or just another invented media-hyped geo-manipulated (as in opening a dam, or making a landslide, or causing a "storm surge" [link]) Agenda21-transformation tool...like the supposed brand-new imminent meteorite-strike threat that John Q. is constantly warned may one day wipe out an entire city [link]? To quote the post below..."how hard is it anyway to make a flood if you control all the waterways and dams?" Interesting to note also is that in the aftermath of the "atmospheric river" so called, it is more than probable that many property owners in affected areas will be soon facing new FEMA flood maps now designating their property as high risk 'because another "atmospheric river" can come at any time and may be even worse' - translated meaning prohibitive insurance costs to remain there [see: Sandy/Jersey]. Cui bono? Agenda 21 population relocation plans is the clear winner in this scenario. And how bad is the winter storm really? This is winter after all and storms do happen, perfectly normal and to be expected, but how bad is it really? Answer: It's exactly as bad as the msm script-readers say it is...and everybody knows who pays their salaries.
The above article contains a link to a two-year old article which also mentions the claimed 1861 'AR' said to have devastated CA, whereupon an astute commenter remarks on how interesting it is that there is virtually nothing in the history books about such an event [link]. Also of questionable believability the claim in the above article stating that "geologic core samples show that extreme floods like the one in 1861 have happened in California about every 200 years since the year 200 A.D." The sentence following that statement adds this: "So the next disaster could be right around the bend".
Atmospheric rivers (AR) were an unknown commodity until just two or three years ago, but now, utter destruction may be "right around the bend"? Really? Getting the picture yet about "rivers in the sky" would-be micromanaged Agenda21 controllees? 22,000 'scientists' are going to 'get the picture' (see above) next week in San Francisco. Be aware - original 'AR' post from two-years ago below:

November 2012 CA Storm And "Atmospheric Rivers": No 'ARkStorm' This Time - But Just Wait, Says NWO

[see post]

According to main-stream-media reports, Northern California did indeed get hit with major rains and wind, as predicted by the 'scientific forecasts', but for the most part the damage and flooding was relatively minimal:
California Storms Blow Over
SAN FRANCISCO -- A new storm system made its way Tuesday through already drenched Northern California, prompting renewed flood concerns in parts of the region. Stretches of far Northern California and southern Oregon were under a flood watch, partly because of swollen waterways and saturated ground from the previous storms that dumped 15 to 20 inches of rain in some areas and more than 5 feet of snow in the high Sierra Nevada...The storm on Sunday dropped as much as an inch of rain an hour in some areas while toppling trees, causing flash flooding to roadways and knocking out power...Rivers across Northern California swelled from the deluge but mostly stayed within their banks.
In other words, there was no catastrophic "ARkstorm"...this time. But what did happen was very interesting and should be noted. Apparently the nationwide media-frenzied storm warnings and reports over the past week have served as an introductory course for the population-at-large on the previously relatively unknown subject of "Atmospheric Rivers". A week-long crash course actually. Atmospheric Rivers 101 it could be called. For the most part nobody had ever heard of anything like rivers in the sky that can "carry as much water as fifteen Mississippi Rivers" [scientificamerican.com; 12-4-12], but they have now because the NWO Bureau of Propaganda has made sure of it. And not only that, but the country has also been 'educated' to accept as 'scientific fact' that these new animals suddenly are now a 'fact' of life, even though they were never mentioned before. But they are indeed a fact of life now, say the NWO scientists, and according to no less than the USGS, a real "ARkstorm" hitting California one-of-these-days "is inevitable":
[0:3] USGS - Science For A Changing World (1-16-11)
[0:9] This film depicts the realistic outcome of a hypothetical, but plausible massive storm hitting the state of California...
[:57] a storm of this scale is inevitable....this is the ARKSTORM
[1:23] the ARkStorm slams the coast...beginning a process of destruction that will last for weeks...
[1:32] levees and flood control systems are overwhelmed by the incredible volumes of water...
[1:38] widespread flooding occurs throughout the state affecting Sacramento, the Bay Delta, Los Angeles and Orange Counties, San Diego, and many other communities...
[1:50] up to ten feet of rainfall, thousands of landslides...damaging homes, highways, and roads...
[2:02] much of the total loss is uninsured so large numbers of building owners do not have the financial resources to pay for repairs...
[2:15] many parts of the states flooded for months to come...
(2:35 - The proposed answer is to merge government agencies in order to be able to respond efficiently to the catastrophic results...which just so happens to be the NWO Agenda 21 goal - i.e. a monolithic dictatorial power structure)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifteen Mississippi Rivers is a lot of water to be floating around in the sky. But you are supposed to believe it. It is especially amazing when it is taken into consideration that John Q. Public is essentially now being told that devastating "AR's" can form at any time, to expect them, and when they do come, to be prepared because one of them very likely may wash their town or even city right off the map. As far as doing away with entire geographic areas goes, one thing about the so-called Agenda 21 'global management plan' that is a definitely known truth is the aspect of relocation of entire populations from 'undesignated' to 'designated' living areas [see: A21 and wildlands map]. 'AR' blamed-floods sure would help that goal along.
One more thought and it is on the concept of "weather manipulation" vs. "perception manipulation", quoting from this recent post: Superstorm Sandy Geoengineered? 10-30-12 "Here is the point: Even a so-called "modified-weather superstorm" could be 'helped along' if need be to achieve a certain objective. And, with complete control of every media outlet in the country, the perception of what is happening is easily manipulated. Whatever numbers are thrown out, whatever images are used, lots of endless hype, and then that's what it is. The whole thing can be made-to-order"
Again, that weather can be manipulated does not even seem to be a question anymore. Still, though, this does not mean that the information that comes out about these 'weather events' is necessarily factual. Perhaps by manipulating the weather making ten feet of rain like the above video claims is possible, but could not the same effect be accomplished by opening up a few waterways here and there? It was an atmospheric river - really.
Science for a changing world, says the USGS. No question about that one, the world is definitely being changed - and dramatically. Are the changes being geoengineered though. Be informed, especially Californians with this one. Rev. 18:4
(Note that the 'AR' in 'ARk' is uppercase and highlighted. This is to signify "Atmospheric Rivers")

It is possible that fire is used with agenda 21 as well. Check this out, several fires in communities near Yosemite, this one with 33 homes destroyed. Also closed Indian gaming casino (which I don't really like anyway) but results in the loss of one of the largest employers in the area. These mountain communities are fiercely independent and fully 50% of the mountain children are homeschooled. http://www.sierrastar.com/2014/09/16/69806/terrifying-fire.html
