Its not ENOUGH rain, though.
This El Nino has been a dud.
So far its only an average year, not the sort of once every two decades soaking that will do things like replenish the water table.

“This El Nino has been a dud.”
True. There were no week long torrents as there often are.

Think how much better off we in CA would be if we had built a single new reservoir in recent decades. But here the Left has long since won its war against common sense.That an a desalination plant or two...

The big problem is that during this whole drought, they have not built any additional storage capacity. So a lot of the runoff from the storms is just flowing out to sea. Unless and until they add a lot of reservoirs and underground storage, the drought will just come back in the first dry year.

During the California drought of 1976 77 the Dooms Day crowd was claiming it would take at least two years to fill Lake Shasta. Once the snow and rain started the lake was spilling by early summer. We don’t have water shortage we have a lack of storage. Humboldt county rainfall is at least 30% above average and Ruth Lake has been spilling since Dec

I overnight the fillets in salty water, then pat dry. For preparation, egg, Panko crumbs and veg. oil.
BTW; today is the first day of snagging (for spoonbill) season here. I don't care for this fish but a lot of folks fill their freezer...
