We’re all set up to get a good dam shot for #ABC10.

Officials plan to open the spillway of Oroville Dam at noon today, making way for incoming rain.

We're about to take you up in this #HurricaneHunter plane.

Photographer Tyler Horst and I joined the crew for a nearly 10-hour mission into the #atmosphericriver systems over the Pacific, flying halfway to Hawaii and back.

We'll show you how they do the job-- and how much more work there is to do improving forecasts for these systems on #ABC10 at 6:30pm. (ABC10 Roku/FireTV and abc10.com as well)

Into the #PiñaCollider we go!

@brandonrittiman #PiñaCollider is excellent.

High water on the #Sacramento from the #PiñaCollider #storm.

This is Tower Bridge right now. #cawx

Anybody got #PiñaCollider #storm questions for PG&E? They’re about to give a news conference here at their Vacaville emergency ops office. Reply soon and I may ask your #Question.

Big trees, saturated roots.

This is what’s behind a lot of the problems in the #PiñaCollider #storm. #cawx

Solano Irrigation District crews repairing culverts. Lots of standing water in the fields outside #vacaville. #PiñaCollider #cawx #storm #flooding

Poor visibility and lots of water on I-80 between Davis & Vacaville right now. #PiñaCollider #cawx #storm

@psoul @rollovereasy #PiñaCollider is clever, but I prefer the name #HellaStorm ☔️

Looks like this bomb cyclone out west has its own hashtag on mastodon: #PiñaCollider

Something that just worked well when the power went out: leaving a rechargeable lamp on while plugged in softened the plunge into darkness.

@nwswpc_bot The highlighted area would be like 7 or so states if it were on the East coast…

#PiñaCollider

Thinking of all the line workers working in terrible conditions to keep lights & communication on. The worst winds of the #PiñaCollider storm are yet to come.

So far SMUD is keeping us powered, but it’s taking work: They’ve got crews on downed trees a block over from us already.

Are you going to post for #waterfallwednesday @rachel_elson ? #PiñaCollider

Are you fully prepared for a long #poweroutage ?

Here in the Sacramento area, the #PiñaCollider is starting to blow in.

These high winds could topple more trees due to saturated ground, #meteorologists warn.
