We had a deluge last summer. Most monsoons and rainfall I’ve seen in AZ since about 2005.
This is a *man-made” drought. California bureaucrats, politicians and tree-huggers are responsible for this by deliberately destroying hundreds of reservoirs built between the 1890s and 1960s. They did this in the name of conservation. California is no stranger to dry spells which is why the state but so many reservoirs to begin with. As it stands now, most of the rainfall and snow melt simply runs off and into the ocean.
Idiots.
