Kern River Conservancy Executive Director Gary Ananian said warm rain from an atmospheric river system caused rapid melting of snow in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains. Ananian noted the snowmelt resulted in a swollen river on Friday.

Someone needs to blurt out: "this flooding is beautiful! It's nature taking it's course!" Water is good! Let's manage it! Sadly the flooded houses will get the attention.
Water management is a boring subject. LGBQT is all about getting laid or pissing in a toilet/urinal-sexy. Do you think anybody notices when the government is DOING it’s job? Think water allocation and the Oroville Dam runoff.
Drop in say 10,000 tons of Tide detergent or Dawn dish liquid. Good opportunity to “clean up” dirty filthy California. Flush it ALL into the ocean.
I had an uncle who drowned in the Kern river, he lost a swimming bet.
The more water the better fishing-right?
Is there salmon there to be caught?
Forty feet of snow up in the mountains.
In a sane state, that would spell the end of the drought.
That flooding Kern River empties into Lake Isabella.
That reservoir/lake has been really low due to drought.
So there is storage, and the Kern River flooding is real news.
AMEN
“Is there salmon there to be caught?”
Not that far south. The north end of the valley like the San Joaquin Delta has stripers and connects to the Pacific. The Kern is split at Bakersfield. Any snow runoff that comes down to the Kern or other water areas north of Grapevine comes from Mt Whitney and is around 180 miles away. Without an ocean connection there won’t be a spawn. Largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill are the main fish in the area.

I loved Kernville and the Lake Isabella area when I visited a while back. There is a fantastic Italian restaurant in the little town. Hoping people in this area don’t suffer.
You have no idea what you are talking about, the kern river is used for ag,ground water, and city water.
Water that high is generally too rough and discolored for decent fishing.
We had a trailer at rivernook campground on the kern my whole childhood.
