Speaker Justin Lindeman, Cal Engineering & Geology 

From late December through mid-January there were approximately six storm systems that brought a wide variety of hazardous weather to the Bay Area and Central Coast. These systems varied in dynamic configuration from narrow cold-frontal rain bands, atmospheric rivers, and a low-pressure center that underwent "bomb cyclogenesis". The result of these storms produced hazardous weather over a three week period which included: large surf over 30 feet, wind gusts over 100 mph, widespread flooding which included river flooding, gusty thunderstorm outflow winds, small hail, and two waterspouts, just to name a few. The geohazards that resulted from the storms are plentiful and the full repercussions are still unknown. Here is how we are dealing with it.
