In some ways the enormous storm headed for the northwest US including California is welcome, however, it should also be viewed as dangerous. Besides the rain and wind, after such a prolonged drought, there are profound chances of landslides. USGS should be assessing known areas that could result in landslides after severe drought. Residents in areas in question should be given shelter elsewhere known to be safe until any danger has passed. Roads can also be involved. The entire superstorm should be viewed with complete caution.
