“Seattle’s year-to-date precipitation is back above normal.” https://www.seattleweatherblog.com/rain-stats/rainfall-2021/
Projected to be 75% below normal. Projected means the Gov pulled the numbers out of his backside.
The average rainfall in Washington is 38” vs. 27” in TX.
Sometimes, TX towns run completely out of water and it has to be trucked in. One would think Washington, with so much more rainfall, would be able to build more water storage for emergency use.
Of course, they could deport their illegals to conserve what water they currently have. Well, there’s an idea for the entire nation.
Don’t get me started on west coast wildfires.
The entire west coast is run from an insane asylum.
Seriously, we have the entire pacific ocean. Build some friggin’ desalination plants for Pete’s sake! Fill up the reservoirs. Build water pipelines and aqueducts. Sell the extra water to Arizona and Nevada etc as needed.
But no. We need to spend tens of billions on trains that never get built and suffer shortages, we can’t put out forest fires, we can’t even produce enough electricity to run our cities. Nobody in a position to decide these things gives a crap about the basic necessities of human life.
In Washington there is more water than you could ever imagine. Right now there are ponds that fill up in the winter, and still at spring levels of water. I am talking of ponds in the middle of range land. Grass is still green, it rained a little today and the temps are probably 6-10 degrees BELOW normal. We had a shot hot spell, but last night after a sunny day, it was 56 degrees around 9:30 PM with a High of 74.
