You know, the not so funny “funny thing” is that the newspapers here recently have had headlines saying: “State Inches It’s Way Out of the Drought!” And this is being written as Brown seeks Federal Flood Relief funds from Washington. The ground around our home is so saturated that the least amount of rain results in all or it running off. We are in the East Bay where it is relatively flat and close to the Pacific Ocean. Water from Oroville has hundreds of miles to go to get to SF Bay, and severe flooding would ruin some of the most productive agricultural land in the country.
“...and severe flooding would ruin some of the most productive agricultural land in the country.”
OK. NOW you’ve got my attention. *SNIF*
The entire north state is damp with no place for the water to go except down hill and eventually to the ocean.
Our rivers and streams are at near flood level and can’t take much more water without flooding.
