The media goofs can't give up their narrative about California's "climate change induced drought", so they're forced to make crazy statements like "This massive influx of rain and snow does not mean the drought has ended". Uh...yeah, WATER actually does tend to end droughts if you get enough of it, which we clearly have. Seriously - that's all our media here is talking about. That we're inundated, and it's catastrophic, AND the drought is NOT over". And then they give you a mini lecture on "climate change".
Anyways, here are the new reservoir levels as of yesterday, based on historical average capacity. Keep in mind that it's still raining all over California, and MORE storms are incoming!:
New Bullards Bar: 122%
Shasta: 80%
Oroville: 99%
Folsom: 110%
Camanche: 122%
New Melones: 64%
Don Pedro: 103%
Sonoma: 99%
McClure: 110%
Cachuma 130%
Diamond Valley: 84%
Millerton: 148%
Pine Flat: 119%
Castaic: 70%
Side note: the media is also pushing the idea that the latest California drought (where liberals inexplicably dumped millions of gallons of reservoir water into the ocean on a regular basis, draining our reservoirs ON PURPOSE) was so bad it was the worst in 1200 years! Yeah...no. They made that up.
It must keep raining
The snow packs in the Mountains are way above average snowfall. The Spring melt will see plenty of additional water.
Yessss shred the gnar
Soon, if you are a r7ghteous Philosopher without funds, you will be hanging with a generous crowd.
Not sure what that means, but it sure sounds good !
I attempted to shred the gnar. Perception and recognition can be lost in the expansiveness.
Are they still dumping into the ocean? Has the EPA declared new protected "wetlands" to screw landowners?
Not sure - it was so annoying that I stopped looking a year ago. But they were then - right as they were bemoaning the low reservoir levels. There's someone else here who was monitoring the same exact situation in Oregon, where they withhold water from farmers while dumping it all. IMO: Cabal control of the water supply in CA and OR.
The farmers in the Central Valley know what's up. They park their farm equipment near the highways with banners stating their disgust with Pelosi, Newsome, Feinstein etc. My customers in that area tell me many are forbidden from even using their irrigation wells for their crops. Some areas are so dead and burnt you drive for several miles and not see anything green.
Sidenote, WA state supplies alot of water to AZ and CA via Columbia River. 4th largest river in the US. 1200 miles long or so
The Sierra snowpack is at 245% of normal for this date. https://cdec.water.ca.gov/snowapp/sweq.action Utah and CO are also way above normal.
If you're Californian, water is wealth.
Water is the most important resource on earth. The pedo death cult knows this, but the population isnt really aware unless they live in drought prone areas because of the seeming abundance. The pedo death cult isnt buying up the aquifers around the world for nothing.
HRC. Hemp Rope is the Cure.
They never talk about how much water it takes to keep the rivers full. They are purposely draining the reservoirs so that college students can attempt to introduce extinct fish stock into CA rivers. Fish that don’t naturally spawn there. Maybe they can dump enough water through the creeks to make it happen!??
Meanwhile, stop using water you useless breeder.
Meanwhile, sanctuary cities are signing up for millions of new useless breeders to run across the border.
CA is pure insanity.
It really is. Due to liberal policies regarding crime we also just lost another wonderful young sheriff deputy, the second in recent days. The first was killed by someone who should have been in jail, but a liberal (Soros) judge let him out. The one on Friday had kids and his wife is pregnant.
And that other thing they do where they try to pronounce foreign town names with whatever accent they believe is appropriate.
What did we do 1200 years ago to cause the last major drought?
Twas that damned proverbial butterfly, who sneezed in China one day. He was such a jerk.
Are these measures set against annual stats or against average levels at thispoint in the water year. Big difference and we need to identify our metrics.
Historical average capacity isn't the same thing as the reservoirs being full to their physical capacity.
These are the reservoirs that are now nearing their actual physical capacity:
Camanche
New Bullards Bar
Cachuma
Millerton
I expect more names will be added to that list in the coming weeks. We've seen this before in California. The trend was always that they would become overly filled - they CAN hold the water, just that stuff around them can get flooded a bit!
Remember the flooding in South West of Germany in 2021?
They called it climate change too, but also there the reservoirs were filled to the max and have not been depleted slowly & controlled in advance before the flood, but only during the night with the highest rainfall.
Climate change: They let the reservoirs get full to the max to release them at once! 134 people died, a big region was devastated, warning system was not set in motion, politicians did not react, later help was only deployed slowly and even boycotted (the privately organized help). Until today relief funds have not been released properly.
It was an attack.
Should convince a thinking person that the government wants them dead.
Do you recall the thing with our currency, where it is folded in various ways and pictures form of Cabal plans? WTC and the Pentagon, and IIRC it's the $50 note that has the Hoover Dam destroyed on it. I was actually glad to see Lake Mead water levels drop so much, on the offchance they still plan on pulling that one off. It should never have been built there anyways - it's on an area filled with fault lines and happens to overlie the same volcanic system as Yellowstone. Terrible location choice, no doubt deliberate.
I hope they do not mess with the hoover dam!
excellent....many thanks
My pleasure, fren!
...great post....
Thanks ash!
...doggy winks...
They didn't just make it up, they induced the drought. They used weather to put the masses into an emergency drought situation to help manage control.
And now the WH are in control now so the 1200 year drought is reversed just as the tide begins to turn against the DS. Almost like it was intentional.
*almost! Nudge Nudge! Wink! Wink! Saynomore!
We looked at Bullards just last Thursday and it looked half empty, despite the rain. But then they were generating power with the water like there's no tomorrow.
Some really annoying investors in NV wanted to do that with a local SoCal lake, but it would lower the lake level so much while it was running that boating would be at risk, so everyone around here has been fighting it.
Isn’t this because of La Niña? We go through phases of wet & dry winters. Have people forgotten???
Might be! But there have been visible weather shenanigans, per Dutchsinse, so I don't know if we can really say for sure?!?!?
Yesterday all the rice pattys on the way were full of water but Marysville seemed normal.
About 30 years ago we went on a road trip from CA to KS. Took a day trip down to Springfield, MO and was amazed. For the better part of an hour, all we saw was water. Everything in Missouri was flooded so badly that it was just half of houses sticking out of the water every now and then. Some were all the way under. It was like driving out to the Florida Keys or something - just a little land bridge and then.....water in every direction. Really made me become a believer in: don't live in a basin, or in flood plains. Choose a plateau or slope, even if it's just a little one.
That was the year my brother got married. I was living in Denver on a three year contracting job. I had fallen 12 feet onto concrete and broke my elbow causing me to miss my flight back to Michigan. The only thing available last second was the train.
This was in early September, 1993. The great flood of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers began in April that year and didnt subside until October.
https://en.wikipedia.org//wiki/Great_Flood_of_1993
Where we crossed the Mississippi it was probably 100 miles wide. The tracks were nearly the only thing above water.
I'm glad at least to hear that the flooding we saw was so rare it was called The Great Flood, because for all we knew at the time it was a regular affair for them, and made us wonder why the hell people were living there?! 100 miles wide is just astounding.
Yep I am in little rolling hills. Every ten or so years we get these sort of storms and it feels like I'm on an island in the swamp.
Interesting! Never thought on the photographic aspect of it!
I am now very fond of Flagstaff. A pity Sedona was overrun by artsy fartsy whackadoodle liberals, because it's perhaps one of the most gorgeous drives we've even been on, going through the Sedona region.
That's a nice looking town! Will have to add it to the list of places to see!
