I’ve lived it California for more than four decades. We should to call this El Nino and La Nina. Now it’s this made up crap that’s to blame?
Good thing they cancelled the train!
Just what Califphony needs to cover their budget shortfall
Classic slow news day response; find something...anything that might happen in the next million years, write a story about it and try to create a sense of panic...all to sell a few papers.
In the 20 years I lived in CA, this is how they drag $$$ out of the Federal Gov.
They complain until someone throws $ at them and then they move on to the next complaint.
The dam has been there for probably 80 years.
She didn’t know it was there when she moved there?
I thought global warming was causing an extreme drought in Cali that would cause us all to die of thirst?
PROVE IT!
Dam. Damn!
You’d think that after Katrina, governments would pay attention to the viability of their dams.
But, nooooo.... waste money, wait for disaster, blame it on climate change, and tap the Federal Government (i.e., every other taxpayer) for repairs.
I shudder to think of the day when CO2 concentration spikes from 0.04% of the atmosphere to 0.045%
Good thing they cancelled the train!
Yes because the democrats need to try and shift the blame for their malfeasance in maintaining the states infrastructure and forests. For the theft of hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars supposedly for Moonbeams boondoggle the high speed train to nowhere anyone wants to go from nowhere anyone wants to be instead of reservoirs and desalination plants to deal with California's droughts.
They’re just tacking Global Warming onto the story, the way the always do.
In September 2017, the United States Army Corps of Engineers officials warned local residents that the dam no longer met the agency’s ‘tolerable-risk’ guidelines and could fail in the event of a very large, very rare storm, similar to exceptionally intense California storms which occurred between December 1861 and January 1862, a so-called ARkStorm.
BTW, that dam is a mile from where I was born.
The worry warts should be encouraged that the Whittier Narrows Dam survived the Whittier Narrows earthquake on October 1, 1987. The epicenter was not far from the dam itself.
I felt that earthquake in Santa Barbara.
Good thing it won’t affect bullet train construction. :/
During the winter global warming apparently produces a series of cold rain and snow storms. The only time we have drought is when the stare district needs to raise charges.
If we had a real drought, Jerry brown would have done the sensible thing (sarcasm) and built a few desal plants as did the city of Carlsbad, instead of the not-so-hi-speed rail to nowhere,..
WATER districts
Before the Santa Ana was confined between modern cement banks, floods took place from Seal Beach to Irvine.
Also before those banks, the silt runoff formed the Balboa Peninsula.
“Before the Santa Ana was confined between modern cement banks, floods took place from Seal Beach to Irvine.”
The Los Angeles River used to do the same thing. In 1938 my mother’s family farm in Compton was heavily flooded.
Isn’t it hilarious?
The storms of 1982 were way worse. This is an ordinary above average year — and they run around screaming “climate change! Aaaaah! We’re all gonna die!”
