Post by: big r on January 06, 2016, 06:13:02 PM

Today has been better but SoCal is not engineered for this much water in this short of time span. The good side will be the much needed snow pack to ease up the drought. And seeing all the idiots that think they can drive through the flooding.

The quake will help shake the water down the drain a little faster...

I don't get it :dash2:

Would it not have been prudent over the last 5 years of drought, to have some new resevoirs built and ready for El NiƱo to serve the farmers in the San Jouquin Valley?

I guess governor Moonbeam's bullet train was more important.

It must only be the LA basin that is flooding...maybe that is why it is called a basin...

We are good up here north of the Grapevine. The storms are rolling in every few days and the water is getting absorbed well and the snow pack is doing great.

Not out of the drought by any stretch, but the winter is still young.

It would help if DC didn't order them drained again...   :yes:

Hell, I work there and I agree.  Let's fill the basin with water.  It'll solve a host of issues as a lake. Overpopulation , crowding, smog and drought, this is sounding better already!

Bring on the flood -- my Waverunners are ready --- it will be easy to get around the New Lake Los Angeles

no roads just beeline straight across the lake

Just you Cali guys don't be going around in your Lambos doing this shit.  Is having that much money inversely proportional to how much brains he has?   :wacko3:

It wasn't your fault Mark -- it was either the Lambo or the Veyron and I know you like the big V better  -- you had to make the choice

 When they talk about "THE BIG ONE" down there in California, I cant help but think all this water and erosion that could take place way underground can not be good for the State. Its crazy that an essential life giving element like water can also kill us and cause so much distruction on the surface. I feel sorry for all who have lost everything, now I will put my rose colored glasses back on.
