Powerful storm to slam West Coast with feet of snow, flooding rain late this week

By Kyle Elliott,
After one storm system wallops Southern California and Arizona with heavy rain and high-country snow through Wednesday night, a much larger storm is set to slam Central and Northern California with a wide array of impacts from Friday into Saturday.
Although the center of the storm system will move ashore in Oregon later Saturday into Saturday night, the worst of the impacts will occur farther to the south.
Heavy rain and gusty winds will target coastal areas from San Francisco northward into southern Oregon spanning Friday into Saturday, as well as the Central Valley's I-5 corridor from Sacramento to Redding.
The foothills of the Sierra Nevada will also be hit hard with flooding downpours during this time.

in the northern part of the state, I just wondered, that's all. I visited friends in LA and just east of San Francisco last year.
My friends tell me how dry it's been, how water is tightly rationed, no lawn watering, etc., etc. I explained to them how Australia uses a cistern system, which they thought would be a good idea.
I just thought that with so much snow, rain, in the southern end of the state, there might be some other storage system. 
That's where I live.
