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.
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.

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.
