Drone photos show dramatic rise in California reservoirs after record-setting rain, snow
Lake Oroville’s water level rose steadily with each storm passing
through California this winter. I guess the climate really did change out there after all. It rained and it snowed. HOLY FUCK - they were right all along!
No, it is not over. The surface water needs to be at these levels for the next 8 years before it seeps down to the aquafer. Kalifornia had basically pumped their aquafer dry.
I am from SoCal in the 50s as my parents moved from AZ in the late 40s. Reagan was the last GOV to build infrastructure reservoirs and also had logging companies clearing out dead wood and areas in forests to keep large forest fires to a minimum while making money on taxes and having people working. After he left Brown as GOV let in the environmentalists and forest clearing was ended leading to massive fires and no more reservoirs and water storage when the state gained twice the population. I left the state due to business for the east coast in 96 and most of my family and my wife's family is now gone.
Oroville is almost full now and they are sending water over the rebuilt spillway. I was just up in the mountains that form the Feather River drainage and we were in 8+ feet of snow. The problem we are seeing now is the debris from the Camp, Bear and Dixie fires is washing into the lake. Logs and crap are everywhere. Fishing should be great soon.

ReplyDeleteAll that new fresh water thanks to the efforts of magnificent Joe and Calvin Nuisance.
ReplyDeleteAccompanying floods of course are caused by Orange Man Bad.

ReplyDeleteJerry Brown and Kamala did other things with wood.
DeleteThose reservoirs will be drained back down as commiefornia lets the water run back into the ocean.
