Be careful around mud...

California has weather, too? What a surprise. It’s gone from ‘The drought will never end’ to ‘The rain will never end’. It’s gotta be Globull Warming.
“at least two people were killed on Thursday as a result of a storm.”
Why do they have to kill people because of a storm?
I was looking at some CA reservoir capacity charts. There seems to be a repeating pattern. There will be several years of full capacity after successful seasonal inflows, then OK capacity, and then low capacity. Then the cycle starts over again. I can see Lake Oroville filing up from near historic lows last year. It did it in 2019.
On average, there is barely enough water.
The idiots in my county decided to take down for an earthquake retrofit.
In additon, people are opposed to expand another reservoirs capacity.
I remember driving across a bridge over a river on the way from San Francisco to Yosemite in 1977. There was a sign on the bridge “No Diving”. You could barely even see the river some hundreds of feet below, much less even hit it from diving off the bridge.
It was, of course, an empty reservoir. Things haven’t changed much in the last 46 years.
The problem they have is there isn’t enough storage capacity to capture all the water during good rain/snow years. Dam operators have to let the water out for flood control purposes and keeping the dams from failing
This is more proof Global Warming is a Communist hoax.
77 was a bad year.
Here is an example article:
Lake Shasta was close to being at 10% capacity levels..
Be careful around mud...
The interior mountain ranges of Southern California are not part of the Sierra Nevada.
“ shirley you jest ”
Yeah that’s probably too much to ask.
Heavy rains will only embolden them, evidence of course of climate change!
CHP Officers Britt Irvine and Rick Stovall, partners on graveyard shift, were responding to a possible truck accident on mountainous State Route 166 east of Santa Maria. Rain and fog made visibility poor. Their route took them along the Cuyama River, swollen by recent storms. A huge section of roadway had been chewed away by the raging river and their patrol car plunged 20 feet into the torrent.
When dispatch lost radio contact, CHP and allied agencies began to search. It wasn’t until the next morning that a CHP helicopter crew found the Patrol car, upside down, buried in silt, with only the tip of one wheel visible.
Officer Stovall, 39, was an 18-year veteran of the Highway Patrol and the son of retired CHP Officer R. B. Stovall. Officer Britt Irvine, 40, had served 15 years with the Highway Patrol.
> It’s a light rain. Just enough to make the weeds grow and turn the mountains green.
And knock out the power, lost some videoconference participants in calabasas that way…
Every eleven years.. I grew up in Cali snow country. Every 11 years we would get 30 feet of snow, then cycle down to hardly any then back up to a 30 foot month. It still happens.. Almost as if our climate is in synch with 11 year solar cycles.... NAH...It is my SUV.
