Giant 'Rivers in the Sky' Are Causing Widespread Chaos in California

quote [ This month, the percentage of California still stuck in a drought dropped by 22 percent in a single week, as the wettest winter in decades saw an onslaught of storms deliver record-breaking rains across the state. ]

Yeah, I had to change a flat tire in the river... it sucked.

I live in the midst of a city outside Los Angeles. Flat for miles around. Friday, my apartment flooded. NO ONE thought this kind of thing could happen, so no one was prepared. This is nuts.

I also live in this nonsense. I am enjoying it, but only because every local levy has problems except the ones surrounding us. We learned our lesson in the 90's.

Why don't the Californians just issue a ban on flooding?

They are passing a bill that will tax flooding.
