Well, we needed water… of course we can’t use all of the water for ourselves but the reservoirs have been filling up which is great news.

I'm so happy for California. They are finally getting the rain they deserve. It has been dry for so long.

[rod-dn]

and why do you think this is happening?

[motorcyclemichael]

When it rains it pours!
Praying for y’all 🙏🏻

Got the fireplace going. My Honey is making chicken soup for the family. Going to sit on the porch with a fire, stogie and a Belgian Tripel to watch the rain with friends and neighbors.

My Mom works in the fields here by Sacramento year round and when this all started couple weeks ago she was saying how badly we needed this rain... even if it's starting to get to be a lil much now lol. These lil storms will pass but this water will carry us for a couple years

[GiratinasRisingRenegades]

Well my heart goes out to those impacted by this storm!

[frostbite]

The flooding is better than the drought. Keep it comin!

[xaustedbrain]

I had dreams about being trapped in a flood and I woke up to see California all over the news when this flood first started. Hope people are safe.

After years of drought, California finally has received much needed rain. However, the abundance of rain has caused deadly flooding. Don't risk crossing flooded roads. Seek the high ground if possible. Stay safe everyone.

Rest in peace to that 5 year old and pray his mother finds comfort. As a single parent I'd be lost right now..

God cleaning up the west coast. He is good.

[Shaderunner]

How can anyone not see, they are being warned

[waynez]

Them farmers up in Bakersfield and Fresno should be rejoicing

OMG i just thought of a major problem. Yeah sure all this water helps solves the drought problem in California. But there is a major disadvantage to all this flood water. What happens when you have a number of earthquakes no matter big or small. All earthquakes have some damage or impact to the ground beneath. Now you take and add 50 trillions of water now you got pockets of reservoir of water underground. And can someone tell me what happens when water and soil merge over a period of time. How about erosion and possibly sinkholes. Yikes!
