Unbelievable, everybody complains about the drought now that it’s raining. They’re complaining about the rain.
I wasn’t complaining.
They ought to be praying that the rain won’t stop until their reservoirs are filled back up.
Yeah, I was talking about the whiny people in California
My grandson and I were planning on driving the coast highway from Monterey to Cambria while on vacation April 10 and 11. When I checked on Friday there were road 8 closures on our route due to landslides and washouts. Expected repairs to take “months”.
Now that there is the Science speaking.
“It never rains in California, But Girl, don’t they warn ya, it pours, man it pours..”
How "climate change" of them.
I can hear Creedence Clearwater Revival now with "WHO'LL STOP THE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER.."
Big Sur has gotten back to remote learning, because of the closures.
Anyway, I really hope you get to do this when it's possible.
As an alternate, could you go Santa Cruz to Bodega Bay, or farther North, then do the one you planned later?
They can’t fill the reservoirs to capacity because they haven’t completed any upgrades for the past 20 years. They haven’t built any new ones either.
No money for reservoirs but all kinds of money for reparations. MORONS!!!!!
Nice reference.
It's been longer than that. Plus CA voted in 2014 for a proposition setting aside $2.7 billion for water storage. Nothing has happened form that yet.
Watch the ENSO. The La Nina is nearly over and has now switched to neutral and El Nino is predicted.
That determines weather patterns in the Southwest.
This Bull S8it about climate change...
This last year, they talked about just how much the Tonga eruption was going to effect the weather. It pumped out a whole lot of water vapor into the atmosphere.
Like the man says..Enjoy the weather, its the only weather you got.
“setting aside $2.7 billion for water storage”
That money could have bought a lot of desalination capacity.
The ocean never stops being an ocean.
Where do you get that from? True vast amounts that could have been stored in new reservoirs will go to waste, but th existing large damaare able to fill to capacity. They’re counting on it to prevent spring flooding. Shasta, Oroville, New Bullards Bar, and San Luis have capacity of about 12 million acre feet between them. It’s possible that Shasta won’t quite fill, but all the others will be full to capacity

No problemo
Snow melt should take care of that
Reservoirs are at 98% statewide
