Time for water skiers to emerge.

Well, the good news is that EPA will declare it an official wetland.

Tulare Lake, a freshwater dry lake in the southern San Joaquin Valley, dried up about 80 years ago. Tulare Lake has been gone since the late 1800s. 80+ years ago, it was only there because of flooding like now.

Another "lost lake" has re-emerged. "Lake Lagunita" at Stanford University has been dry for years, only occasionally getting a bit of water and mud the past decade. But it is once again full!
It used to be heavily used for recreation by Stanford students, but the boathouse and stands were torn down years ago.

Take a peek at a google map. The lake is smack dab in the middle of subdivisions.
When it dries out again it will be primo farm land.

Can’t have healthy outdoor activities, dontcha know? And the boathouse was probably racist. Reminds blacks of the slave ships. Not that any black alive remembers that, but they saw it on TV.... on Roots.

The one thing you never hear about the weather is that it is very reliable in that it shows up every day.
Think about it in the past several thousands of years, weather has shown up every day. Talk about commitment and loyalty. You may not like the job it is doing but by God it is there doing it without complaint.
We complain about the weather all of the time. We blame it for our problems, especially the Democrats, as in global warming. But do we ever stop to think what would happen if weather began to call in sick or just not showing up. Pretty frightening, huh.
I think it time we all acknowledged the job that weather is doing for us everyday.

Tulare Lake has been gone since the late 1800s. 80+ years ago, it was only there because of flooding like now. Earlier it was part of Lake Corcoran, a massive inland sea the size of Lake Michigan, that is now CA’s Central Valley.
CA will probably discover some new snail or fly, declare it endangered and divert water needed for farming to protect them.

I should say, much earlier, as in 100’s of thousands of years.

I was wondering if it would be Owens Lake. In the 1800s I have read it had a steam ship on it before LA sucked it dry.

The lake last appeared in 1983 after a particularly wet season, before disappearing again.

Good news although a bit out of place when it is being reported that 94% of the runoff from these rain events flows into the Pacific.

I was born and raised in the Central Valley (Bakersfield), so hearing about Tulare Lake always interested me.
