One thing that I have not heard California talking about is what happens in the event the rain continues well the well into spring while the snowpack is melting. If they thought they had trouble a month ago they will be peeing their pants then.
If they had built proper dams and resivors to hold excess water when thyey have a drought they would be in much better shape. However the enviro wackos won’t let them.
The intelligent ones in CA have been promoting the construction of more reservoirs to accommodate Springtime snowpack melt. Instead, they release water from reservoirs into the ocean to accommodate snowmelt. Dumb!

I suggest you keep your attention to the Oroville Dam situation. In Feb. 2017, a mag. 2.7 EQ caused by a quarry not far from the dam, initiated a spillway failure, and all that came with that.
Look at the YouTube video of how that was made. It was designed, in the ‘60’s, for a FIFTY YEAR LIFESPAN. Do the math.
be good.
