Just how high is the river in downtown Sacramento? Last Friday, the river level was at 11 feet. Now, one week later, it's gone up to 23 feet and is continuing to rise.
I lived there in '64.........the water was to the bridge........normal for that area. Quit building stuff in flood plains during droughts. Eventually the rain will return.
The entire central valley was once mostly marsh land and flood plain, mother nature just wants to take back it's own. It's never a good idea to live in a flood zone, levees break, dams fail, that's just how it works.

PREPARE NOW PEOPLE!!!!!! Bottled water, food, batteries, charge flashlights, backup batteries etc. Check on your neighbors and check for any limbs that may damage your house and try to remove them if possible.
I have lived in Sacramento since 1978 and have seen the river much higher than this. Instead of wringing hands about what could be, I wish developers and the State would actually do some urban planning and stop building homes and businesses in historic flood plains.
It's nice to hear from older folks who lived here before major developments. I've seen pictures of its beauty. Seems like we can't integrate homes into ecosystems very well.
They don't trust the local officials after the initial start of the pandemic and throwing them to the streets in 90 days with no real housing offers. That's how the democrats funnel money.
It is great to hear about the improvements in the water shed through planning and active involvement. Professional explanations of the current situation should put people at ease. Much better than the repeating the sole narrative of how trees are now DANGEROUS. ... omg .....
The guy mentions that Folsom still has capacity/ room left, but that is only to control ihe American River! when people talk about the past high levels the Levee's were in better shape before! As a boater you would not believe what is seen from the river side of the Levee's, up and down the river in the metro area The homeless/ houseless cut sometimes deep into the Levee's, with stairs, pits or just leveling areas for their campsites. This compromises the Levee's and I am surprised that the Army Corp of Engineer's doesn't do more to prevent this!
I lived on the Ohio River and in Florida during many hurricanes. I’ve seen flooding way worse in those places & I live just south of the 99 flooding zone. Be worried about lowlands but the waterfront district should be fine for at least the next week, I think.
@@Mrbfgray noobs arent scared, people that watch the news are and thats exactly what they want. they sell bogus info and these people buy it up like candy.
I find a deep irony in the fact that the children you interviewed are freaking out whereas the actual adults who are in charge and know what they're talking about are completely calm, cool and collected.
Becuz it's there job to report fake news event. To scare people, fear tactics. To get people on board the you need daddy government to save you. When they should already be doing these type of stuff before hand.
Don’t let complacency during droughts lead you to build in floodplains!!! I’ve seen WA’s Skagit and Duwamish rivers way thiccer than that during the winter (heck the latter submerged Seattle’s South Park neighborhood)
I live in river park and that shit is absolutely not under control, the river is literally a few feet from toppling the levees and flooding the entire area.
Most people (even in CA) don't know that the central valley was once floodplain and wetlands, very little of which remains undisturbed except in bits and pieces. Farming has pumped so much out of the water table that ground level has been steadily sinking, just makes it more flood prone.
unfortunately if these waters don't wash away the burn scars completely which are decades worth caked on and doesnt allow the rain to catch. then theres no point to the rain systems it'll all be for nothing if the ground can't absorb the rain waters and fill aquifers by becoming spring waters. Meaning droughts will be even more dire and severe. California needs couple years worth of rains.
Burn scars decades worth caked on? You have no idea what you're talking about. A burn scar is a forested area burned down. Burn scars aka debris can contaminate drinking water. A burn scar isn't an actual physical thing. It's a description. Lol. I'm not sure where this unintelligent 'ground water can't store because of loose soil and debris' lie started, but it's f_cking annoying seeing all the bots post about it.
DWR will open the gates at all the reservoirs and threaten flooding until July 1st, then call for conservation because of a drought. My entire life I've seen and heard the same things, it will be no different this year.
Quit trying to scare your viewers this city is built to handle this , all the small breaks are in flood plains yes I said flood plains , it’s a choice to live within the many documented flood plains not a disaster 🤦🏼♂️
hopefully it washes all the bum camps outta here hahaha we all know that dream won't come true some shit were just stuck with in this world and tweekers are one of em
