My God, what a mess. 

  Stay safe.

Yep it sound like they have it under control to me.    

Sure, if you have a boat, or an Arc.

Check out some of the wind peaks we're experiencing.

Like I said, until it's tops the roofs of homes, it's not news. How sad is that? Could you imagine your place suddenly being inundated with a few feet of water?



Feel free to resize if necessary, only if necessary, it looks good to me, but I've been fooled before.

Holy crap...

Now, imagine this repeated 10 thousand times across the valley and you have a pretty good idea what the north valley looks like.
They just aren't reporting it, none of it, the only place you'll find it is on social media.
It's starting to happen in the Bay area now, as the water reaches the Bay.

That's a lot of people with flooded homes.  This is unreal.

Yep, like I said earlier, they'll claim the levees are the problem and completely ignore the issue of insufficient flood control dams and the media will let the Marxists get away with it.

I once lived in a low area .. it's hard to tell from the picture how "deep" the water is.  But the house was on a built up area, maybe 5 feet or more, when the fields flooded, other than the septic system being useless, we were fine.

It was some of the richest soil I've ever seen, black loam several feet deep, anything would grow in it - a bumper crop of whatever was planted.
The only problem was, if it was a wet spring, you had to wait... and wait.  Flooding was so common, nobody paid attention.

I can share from experience it is a nightmare. It is really eerie to see the water beginning to come into the home from the baseboards. Technology is much better today than it was in 1979 when I was flooded, but the waiting to let the home dry out before beginning restoration is the worse part of recovery. If restoration starts too soon everything will begin to mildew.

I look at this picture and see ignorance. I used to live out in that area, give or take 70 miles, but it's all the same, the entire area is historically flood plain farming, which is the best and richest land, all the older homes were built with the understanding that the water can get nearly 8' feet deep every decade, yet you look at the pic and see none of that, all newer buildings.
Many of these areas are new within the last 40 years, and that number doubled in the last 12, and the state told them that they would be safe in a thousand year flood plan, that the rivers, levees, and dams were designed to handle nearly anything nature can throw at them, even after experiencing a flood somewhere in the area on a pretty large scale every 10 years on average, they turn a blind eye and build anyway.

I don't know, it seems criminal telling people they're safe when to anyone that's lived here long enough knows it's a blatant lie, and still they will build again, repair what they lost and act shocked when it happens again in 20 to 40 years.
What I'm saying, is the same thing natives told us a half century or more ago, and we still haven't seen anything beyond a Bandaid fix to the flood system since.
A huge flood is going to hit Ca one day, maybe in our lifetime, and nothing will change, the state will say it was a 1000 year event and the people will happily swallow the lie.

I'm passionate about this because I still remember the nightmares as a child of two vividly as if they happened last night.
Where I lost my granddad to the flood and I was adrift in an ocean of muddy water on a plank of wood that kept tipping.
Where we lived just outside of town was flooded, the old Victorian we lived in was an island unto itself, because that's the way it was built, 8' above ground in anticipation of flooding which happened regularly.
Obviously, it made an impression on me, and I know I was one and a half to two years old because we only lived there a year before we settled into our childhood home when I turned three.

If you like to read, check out the book, Cadillac Wars, a turn of the 19th-century look at the battle over water in the southern valley and how they literally destroyed a huge natural lake and way of life to get it.
Also, Walks sent me an article that seems to understand the leftist take on how the left controls ca.
I'm still reading it but wanted to post it before I could no longer modify this post.
