Every one who has lived in CA for the past 40-60 years raise their hand. How many of these rainy seasons have you seen where all the rain for the year is dropped on CA(both North and South)in a few days or a months time? Many, too many to remember them all? Yep, that's my answer. This is not the first time this has happened and it is not the last time it will happen. I, for one, am glad to see it. We have already had more rain than normal for this time of year and the politicians are still saying drought. If we get 80-90 percent of normal rain/snowfall the politicians use it as an excuse to pull sh** like they did to the farmers this year with the smelt BS.
Here's hoping we get at least 20 percent over normal and then listen to the spin doctors tell us that, "just because you are all flooded out doesn't mean the drought is over!"(not that it ever actually began, much like global warming).
What gets me is when people say things like “Southern Nevada is in the middle of a lengthy drought.”
It’s a desert. Drought is the normal condition. Abundant rain is the aberration.
