@Joe Mama Summer temps in excess of 110 F, horrible food, nothing to do, loads of rednecks, worst air in the United States, and it is one of the ugliest cities on Earth, for starters...
I'm 67 i was 10 or 11 then spent alot of time up there when Bikers choppers would line both sides of the hiway. That was way before they added the freeway section up there.
Currently, nowhere near as much water has been in 1983, but it is much-needed . We will see if it floods those houses across from Hart Park, later on after the lake fills up. This is the third time I have seen flooding in the Kern, so I wouldn't call it one in a lifetime. Unless you don't expect to live more than 30 years.
im pretty sure he said once in a generation, not once in a lifetime, and a generation is typically looked at as 20 years, just wanted to clarify. either way we are going to have it cracking in the rivers and lakes.
I visited with my family to the Isabella area/town and lake area in the 40s, and early 50s, at that time it wasn't much, as I remember it. After the dam was built and the whole town had to move, I visited there again and there was more water, and recreation options, but it dried up by the next time I went there, so wasn't attracting many boat etc people. I often wondered why they built the dam if it wasn't to create a better recreation options. I'll bet the people in the area will have fun this summer. That lady was sure excited.
Okay, I have questions about the aquifers. I was reading a scientist talking about a 7 million acre feet deficit and I am now wondering if that is one aquifer or all of the aquifers and I am now also wondering if that is to return to historical average versus full. In another article, I read that in a typical snowfall year 4 million acre feet of water are returned to the aquifers. And in particularly wet years, double than that returns to the aquifers. That would be 8 million acre feet so that is more than the deficit. Also, the governor is allowing the release of 600,000 acre feet of water.
One thing they observe is the moist in 6 feet below surface. It takes months to reach that, maybe more than one season. When reservoirs are full and more rain expected they have to release water to avoid either a damage to the dam or a peak on the flood. This way they have some higher water level for a period of time but can possibly avoid a devastating flash flood.
I’ll be their this summer ..it’s not often where we get water like this ..let’s get this shit LIVE KERN COUNTY , BBQ”s camping , smoking drinking jet skis all that shit
Why is the media glossing over the depleted aquifer? Water on the surfaces isn’t solving the long term trend. We would need this kind of weather every year for 25 years to go back to where we were in 1999
@@chonqmonk David Brenninger general manager of Placer County Water Agency, when they built the dam there had been many years of drought and the flows were calculated from that drought period, as usual after extended drought there are massive storms that drop record rain and snow, it was the case then, it is the case this year, last year our reservoirs were at 20% capacity, this year they are all overflowing and we see massive flooding, not to mention the snow in the sierra
@@harrybarnhill8029 "Even several months before its final completion, Folsom Dam prevented flood damage when a major tropical storm triggered rapid snowmelt. The dam impounded so much runoff that Folsom Lake filled in one week rather than the one year anticipated by engineers."

A man/woman who looks at the sky and says there is no rain is a FOOL. A fool is a person who says there is no God. Do you read the Bible? The #1 bestseller in all the world. Amen
@ Joe Brown. 300 deaths would make people stop and wonder, but this event might not repeat itself simply on the possibility that officials will make arrangements to prevent this in the future. It's awfully tempting. If I had the time, I'd fly out and get a group to try it.
@@supersquirrel7546 For sure. I think the upper portion is all class IV and V…but lower has some IIIs. You can raft any of it…but again, I’m not so sure about a tube. That’s kind of asking for it. Although…this summer with all the snowmelt, the river should be huge. All the IVs and Vs will get shrunk down. Maybe it’s the year of the tube! Send it bro! I know a great Air BnB in Bodfish if you want.
The reporter sounds so disappointed. She tried to put as negative a spin on the story as she could, but there really is no downside. I loved the woman's glee as she talked about summer fun.
ya, no downside at all for the people losing their homes. That ladies glee was a slap in the face to thousands suffering the effects of flooding. But cheer on you patriot..er jackass
This dude just said the positives outweigh the negatives aka human deaths from The storms in which there have. Been 13 ALONE IN SOCAL!!!!🤡🤡🤡🤡what a joke
