Living in San Diego for 18 years I would hear about “persistent drought conditions” over and over. I had to wonder when does it cease being a drought and finally become “normal weather conditions”? :)
Now I’m in AZ and the silliness persists. “Drought!” It’s a desert, fercryinoutloud!
LOL
FYI. Carlsbad turned the first shovel on their desal plant.
