Thefts jeopardize car wash
REPUBLIC – The sign at the car wash says “Sorry no change machine due to vandals.” There is a hole where the change machine used to be, but that is only part of the story. The car wash machines have been vandalized three times this season. The first time the change machine was hit was in the spring.
In August, the wash bay coin box was taken, and last Wednesday, the change machine was ripped off the wall. Whoever did this last heist eft pry bars and wood blocks behind, Jim Burnside, the car wash owner, said.
The machine disappeared between Wednesday night and Thursday
morning. Burnside figures he’s out about $6,000 worth of equipment. He says that is about the profit from a summer at the car “If this keeps up, I might be forced to close the car wash,” he said.

VERY BIG STORM COMING
An already wet later half of September will unfortunately get wetter as a
system has developed that was not in the forecast last week and is rapidly
moving toward the west coast. This next system may not have even happened
had it not been juiced with the remnants of typhoon Pabuk from the western
Pacific. The entrainment of the tropical moisture into the jet stream flow
in the last couple of days has been dramatic ... the NWS has even said
"WHAT A DIFFERENCE 3-4 DAYS HAVE MADE IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE, THIS WAS NOT
EXPECTED AT ALL!" They are even calling this an unprecedented "ATMOSPHERIC
RIVER" of moisture for anytime of the year, let alone September. There is
still some uncertainty in the models for locations of highest moisture and
duration of the system, but all evidence is pointing to the system coming
onshore Saturday night through Sunday from the Olympics down into Northern
California. Rainfall amounts could be extreme with NWS noting that current
model solutions show a 30 year event with rainfall totals up to 10" along
the coastal zones and some higher elevations. Inland valleys will get less,
but still more than any of us likely want, and depends on storm track and
duration. Temperatures are likely to be warmer due to the tropical
moisture, but still cool for this time of year.

While Colin Kaepernick and Frank Gore talked with the hosts of “Thursday
Night Football” on the field where they just beat the Rams, rowdy 49ers
fans behind the TV cameras were heard shouting “Seahawks suck! Seahawks
suck!”
