California Reservoirs Are Now Dangerously Full

Just 18 months after many California lakes were nearly dried up, the state now has too much of a good thing. California has now seen more moisture in the last 8 weeks than it typically does in an entire year. Parts of the Sierra Mountain range have received more than 400” of snow already this season with some coastal and foothills locations pulling in over 2 feet of rain… and their typical wet season has nearly 2 months to go. San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and several other cities have recorded one of their wettest Januarys on record and an incredibly wet 8 weeks overall. Thankfully, the moisture has stopped for now but the damage has been done.

Take a look:

In most locations, we’ve had more rainfall year to date than we get in a “normal year!” And you should take into consideration that the snowpack is more that double normal, so Spring will be “interesting.” Just hope they are pumping this Oroville release somewhere and storing it, but I kinda doubt it.

The “experts” said this was going to be a dry winter. Never trust the government.

"...engineers have already estimated the cost to fix the long concrete spillway at over 200 million dollars"...

Sounds Yugely high. Get Trump to renegotiate.

CA spends $25B on illegals each year. The $200M required to fix the damn dam is THREE DAYS worth what they spend on illegals. THREE DAYS! And it’s a one time expense.

Too bad the press never looks at the cost involved with illegals...

Seems like something that wrong just has to be a crime.

Nope, using the water will endanger the three-peckered gopher fish, and others that make CA drainage ditches their home.

Let a million illegals fix the spillway with wheelbarrows, picks and shovels. The Chinese still build dams with coolie labor.

Can’t everyone just turn on their water and flush their toilets constantly? Kinda move it from the reservoir through the the water lines and into the sewer system or something?
