Yes. Anything Dam or drought related out of California has suddenly gone dark. They post the drought status every week. Well after the big drench last Friday and onward, there are NO updated status maps ANYWHERE OR any news. Suddenly all’s so very quiet. One has to ask why. But not really. At this point the state has to declare the drought over and that’s going to drive all those making money or increased power and control off of it crazy as they aren’t going to give up a damn dime of one ounce of control or manipulation. And as far as flooding. Well. Suddenly not much news at all.
This summer will be either; the hotttest on record, the longest on record, the coldest on record, the driest on record, the wettest on record, the sunniest on record, the cloudiest on record, the most stagnant on record, the windiest on record. Anything but average. AND 100% they WILL NOT roll back irrigation restrictions. They will use the aquifer as an excuse. Since they grabbed the power and raised water rates they don’t dare loosen the grip.
