These may be historic storms, but you can bet that the flooding and landslides are far worse than they had to be.
It's really frustrating to me to watch people wail about floods and landslides after having killed the industries best qualified to manage watershed runoff.

I agree completely. Living in St. Helens, Oregon, i fear the summer this year. S. Ca has gotten all our rain this winter. The forrests are too dense, the deciduous trees are far too great in number, and it is gonna be a BAD fire season here. I live on a partly forrested wetland, and the creek is way down. Enviroterrorists rule the state. I hate to say it, but I think a lot of Oregon is gonna go up in flames this year.
