Drought

[Jmorlan 2]

Let it rain! We are supposed to have rain through Friday in my neck of the woods. And 1-3ft they are calling for in the sierras by Friday.

Today's rain snaps something like a 48 day stretch without a drop of precipitation in the Sacramento valley and foothills.

Nick your right, On Sat. & Sunday it's all chopped up tell about 5 or 530 then most people load up and its smooth sailing from there. Monday - Friday = Glass!

 

 

Poidog1 we have been hurting on water for 2 or 3 years now. last summer the Santa Clara water dis. was buying water from San Luis reservoir just to keep the lake open. Also maybe something to do with the fact if there is a 7.7 earthquake the dam could split open

I never understood why they allowed developers to build neighborhoods with McMansions at the base of that dam. That dam is also made out of just rock and dirt, no concrete so if an earthquake hits everyone below the dam will be cleaned out.

I live 2 miles away and I had to buy Flood insurance. I don't know then the dam was built, but blocking water with dirt and rocks mite seem like a bad idea.......

Although we desperately need rain for the lake to be where is should be its amazing the difference from a natural lake to a man made reservoir. I grabbed a couple cell photos on my ever so horrible commute into the store this morning

 

Got maybe an inch over the past two days, but all clear now . . . . . . come on Mother Nature and bring on the precipitation, poor Lake Mendo looks like a creek!
