This sounds ominous–a “strong Pineapple-type connection” is possibly roaring down upon us from the Pacific Northwest, according to this blog note from the Ojai Post. For what it’s worth, a Pineapple Connection (sounds like a dating service for Hawaiians?) was responsible for the killer storm of 2005 and the La Conchita landslides of 2005 and 1995.
The Ojai Post follows with an explanation of El Niño conditions that gives weather forecasters a little more wiggle room. But still, it sounds like Southern Californians might want to head out to Harbor Freight Tools and stock up on cheap tarpaulins. And if you live in La Conchita…well, you might want to visit relatives.
