Scientists create model of monster 'Frankenstorm' (Adios, California!)

I can see the snow melting under the mother earth crushing iron shod wheels! Evil evil contraption of climate altering hate, tool of the consumptive middle class!

[Misterioso]

I doubt if you could name one scientist that predicts California will fall into the ocean.

[Sawdring]

Oxpower. Didn’t think of that.

"Better drainage now, especially in LA."

Maybe not. I recall articles to the effect that the Army Corps of Engineers has told California repeatedly that the state's levee systems are inadequate.

[jiggyboy]

Nah what we’re going through now doesn’t even compare to 1992 or so when it rained almost every day for like three months straight.

How can they say Climate Change if this horrible flood ocurred in the 1800s BEFORE SUVs and man made carbon, etc.... Like we had two floods here in Brazosport Texas in 1979, in July and September. Alvin Texas still holds the record in US for most rainfall in one day. That was back when they were preaching Glowbull Cooling.

The Sahara Desert was once Ocean

My son just went back to Irvine, California for another semester at CUI. I hope he is safe. But honestly, he loves the mountains and beaches but he can’t wait to MOVE out of California. He says most people there are nuts.

Effin’ buffalo farts creating climate change!

"...someone needs to take the reins and let us build dams and reservoirs to catch the water for the dryer times of the year."

Are you aware that we had one 2/3rds complete on the North & Middle forks of CA's American River 32 years ago???

Are you also aware they are on the verge of destroying 4 existing reservoirs on the Klamath River in CA???

Are you willing, like our founding fathers, to put up your fortune and every waking hour of your future to turn back these GANG-GREEN "throwbacks" and Pagan dirt worshippers???

[Mike Darancette]

The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys were water-logged and spontaneous lakes popped up in the Mojave Desert and Los Angeles basin. Nearly a third of the young state's taxable land was destroyed.

I'm not surprised since there was no flood control back then. I would Imagine that back then the Central Valley (especially the southern part) flooded to some extent most years from Sierra snow melt. Where else did all that good soil came from?

[SierraWasp]

See #30 and don’t start bringing up “reservoir induced sizemisity” since every dam in CA is build on, or near a fault!!! (and I don’t mean Bush’s!!!)

[editor-surveyor]

The fault canard is overworked.

Not all the faults are likely to threaten a dam, and the ‘fault’ that stopped the Aubern dam has much in common with Kris Kringle!

[editor-surveyor]

Remember Tulare Lake?

Things do change, and all that “destroyed” land didn’t just go away!

"The Great Flood of 1861-1862"

Lincoln's fault !

[Mike Darancette]

Took all the rivers from Kings River south. That was quite a lake.

[budwiesest]

Keepin the boat, nomesayn?

[SunkenCiv]

;’) Oar else.
