Not good here… Uvalde has had close to 30“ of rain in the last 72 hours…. The same area that got hit by floods last 4th that killed over 100 kids in summer camps got hit again, thankfully the Camps took it seriously and no issues report yet… further up another river might be breaking it floor stage record from 1979 … some of these rivers are seeing double peaks because of where and when the rain is falling…. we needed the rain but not like this….

It's called 'lack of water'. Back then, plenty of snow, which was stored in the Sierra Mountains. When warm weather came, snows melted and ergo the rivers ran high. Able to be stored, and used. Not so much today. The 5 is full of dried up trees, stone fruit, nuts whatever, because the farms west of the 99 don't have enough water allocation. It was very pretty, once upon a time. California would rather spend tens of billions on a train from Bakersfield to Merced (ps, not a single rail of track laid to date), instead of dams to hold that water for sustained release. And older timers than I have told tales of boats that sailed down the middle of the state from San Francisco, on the waterways.

Day 2. Isn't as bad a yesterday. I can see the breakwall and the edge of the shore. Breeze has picked up and it's pushing everything southwest quickly.

That said, my throat and nose are fucked. So either I have small cold and this is a red herring, or it hit me WAY worse than 3 years ago.

Feels worse this time too. It smells like being in a plastic injection molding factory. Last time it just smelled a bit like burning wood, but nothing as strong as this time round.

Couple of years ago, California seemed to be on fire, all over. Fires at Lake Tahoe were so strong, caused a haze down here in the San Joaquin Valley. Didn't have annual golf tournament in Tahoe, because several of attendees have asthma. Cabins in Shaver Lake area (still in Sierra Nevada mountains) burned, and resultant insurance rates tripled. Of course, Cali has a smog problem, but these fires compounded that by 5x. Still played golf though.
