Wait a minute!
Do we need the rains or not?
If we're in a drought, won't the rains be good?
Can we get a straight answer from you people? Please? Just ONE!

California has had 200 yearlong droughts within the past 1000 years. Drought and flash floods are a natural state for this region. Even this story talks about a massive flood in 1862. Too many horse and buggies? Stop with the hysteria.

I thought California was going to loose water due to the “mega-drought” which is supposed to last another twenty years?

[mhughes]

Climate change. Yes the climate changes. It has, it does, and it will continue to change

Great, now that we know, we can prepare and take advantage of the water and put it to better use next time around.
