I suppose it’s too late for these words of wisdom?

“Always drink/live upstream from the herd.”

Prayers up for smart management of this pending disaster.

So, what happens when all the water goes downstream? Will CA be back in a drought? There are no plans or places or protocols in place to deal with something like this? No additional reservoirs, lakes, ponds, etc. to hold/slow/trap this water as it moves downstream?

Oh, that’s right. In CA - Mother Government OWNS all the water. No rain barrels or flushing for YOU! ;)

There is no possible contingency plan for this much water.

150 years ago the entire Central Valley would become an inland sea in the spring...every year.
