We are not talking about a horizontal component and what happens when we have a storm that hits the bay area coast like this, its going to kick up a lot, and i mean a lot, of wind. All that sheer force, all that wind moving in at once, coupled with heavy rainfall. Im going to give you an idea of the timing, but you have to consider this is not only packing heavy rain, but gusty wind.
