Rain for Ca breaks the drought?

[whitehall]

It seems that the weather pattern that kept Ca. dry has shifted and wave after wave of rain seems to be saturating the golden state. Is it good news or bad news for whiny warmers.?

link?

It would also take a week + of rain to refill the reservoirs not to mention- once orchard trees are dead, they are not coming back .

Need a lot more than this, I'm afraid.

Number one: a huge chunk of California is, and always has been, desert and relies on water from northern California to survive the way it does. Number two: unless the floods of Noah open up on us, the bizarro policy of protecting certain species at the expense of human life really needs to come to an end.

But, maybe the smelt really are more important than humans.

Or maybe you are just terminally stupid. The smelt serve as food for other species that are very important to us. Destroy the bottom of the food chain, and you destroy the top.

Not, a chance is it over. We would need two months of straight rain to fill the reservoirs.

No, this series of storms will not break the drought, more needed. However, many tens of billions of dollars damage has already been done, even if we get those storms.

The ongoing series of droughts in the southwest has already cost us many billions in loss of forests and the habitat there. The fire season just seems to get worse every year in the southwestern states.

Relatively minor problem. Tornadoes are expected. Cyclonic and seismic activity produce polar opposite effects on structures as in the windows on my house will not shatter if struck by a baseball bat. Those tornadoes expected Saturday will have magnified effect on you just like I doubt my house would survive a 5.0 quake but has a 50% chance of surviving 180 MPH winds. Get to a shelter before they hit or you may not be around to know better the next time around.

One storm? Not gonna happen...

Ooooops..........

That's a signal that the fascist AGW religion has to find something else to associate global warming with.

Go.....go......go......

So.....whats it gonna be next s0ns!!!???

Five drops of rain and California's Clown Cars race to the floodgates opening them up so there'll be room for a flood. Despite their being near empty they gotta make sure they stay empty.

And lets not forget, they want to tear down hetch hetchy reservoir. If CA was smart they would be building more dams to deal with just this type of issue.

What species are those?

California’s drought is extreme, but the government is making it worse

LOL. Funny beyond belief! Who the hell do you think lobbied the politicians to set up the system of irrigation? The farmers and the people that use the produce. Yes, it was foolish not to take into account the droughts that hit this area regularly. Just as it is extroidenarily foolish of the GOP and Teabaggers to deny the science that tells us that if continue to add GHGs to the atmosphere we are headed for disaster.

A government by the people, of the people, and for the people made some poor decisions in hindsight. So idiots like you start yelling "Big boogey man Government" and don't you dare do anything to better the situation. This same government, by the people, of the people, and for the people, can set up programs to alleviate the situation as much as possible. Provided the people want to do this. If we choose to just stand by, wring our hands, and do nothing, then that is what we will get, nothing.

The fire season just seems to get worse every year in the southwestern states.

The cultists have an excuse for that, their strange historical revisionism which says those dirty environmentalists forced people to put out every fire.

Back in reality, the no burn policy was gradually ended from 1964 - 1978, almost entirely because of the the actions of the environmentalists. It's yet another big success brought to you by the environmentalists.

No matter. Cult myths never die. Even a century from now, after everything has burned over multiple times, denialist cultists will still be blaming some mythical liberal desire to suppress all fires.

This is a normal cycle and part of the cycle is not learning from it.
