The moisture is great news here in northern Arizona
Good
Hii
There’s blood in that water
Thumbs up
Good
A memorable line by Johnny Carson from a number of years ago:
"Good news, the mudslides have put out the brush fires!"
Said Johnny Carson, in California, a mudslide can improve your property value, depending if you slide into Beverly Hills or out of it.
@@patrickmccarthy7877😂
Haha. Good one. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼 😊
I have lived in California my whole 68 years. I am sure there are others who lived here longer. What I can say is I remember the yearly weather from the 60s and 70s and even the 80s. We had alot more water here during those times. What I mean is there was alot more rainfall and storms over the winter/spring period. It would be a huge boon for us all to see that kind of weather once again in California.
Yes, those were the fat winters, this one reminds me of '82-'83 El Nino, but I think this pattern is an anomaly and the trend toward dryness will continue. Tell you what; if it continues rainy and wet for the next 10 years, I owe you a coke, or a pepsi, -your choice.
@Lisa_sunshinevibes_70 Most of the water falls in the mountains and must be stored and delivered to the coastal citities and to agriculture at a constant rate. Water is a commodity just like other goods, and all of that infrasructure cost a lot of money to build and to maintain. And you have all these competing interests vying for control of a dwindling resourse as well as increasing demand, so, ...control is everything. It alwasy has been. Sharing (giving it away) never was a way to make money, my dear.
@Lisa_sunshinevibes_70 You need a really big cistern to collect six months of water, because that is how long most of CA goes without water. There is a reason why home cisterns are not allowed to be tied in water systems that are tied into municipal water ststems and that is because "cross-connections" can admit pathogens into the public water supply in the event of negative pressure. They cannot force people to use or maintain backflow prevention devices nor can they prevent loss of pressure dure to accident.
Not everything that is done by people is about controlling you. Its about avoiding lawsuits and things llike that, can you dig it?
@Hal
In 1960 you had 40% of the current population .
Water usage has increased exponentially with urban growth and you had the same number of reservoirs during this time, I’m old and I remember that weather is always cyclical. The sun is on an eleven year cycle, the earth is on a cycle as far as it’s distance from the sun so good luck controlling that.😊
Spring time will be so beautiful. Bring on the rain!!!!
Dont worry, never under estimate CA ability to mismanage water as usual.
Don't confuse mismanagement with intentional dumping to raise costs.
There will be a shortage in no time at all. Just like after 2017 storms.
@@ulflurken221 So in your mind you ignore CA refusing to build more reservoirs? But are funded socialist woke pet programs was top priority?
Don't worry the California water resource board will let all the water out of the reservoirs like they did after 2019
Profits and control are prime, so yep they will do what they must do, to maintain the status quo of both!
Yes, reservoirs are designed to let water out.
@@halrichard1969 vote blue
Water managers have to maintain some capacity for flood control, whether the flood happens or not, ok? Go back to your sewing.
@@photonjones5908 I'm not sure that even sewing is okay for these people, they'd probably stab themselves to death. And then blame the needle manufacturer.
I don't live in California anymore because of so meny things that overcome, however I am wondering how many people are thanking GOD for this blessing!!!!!!🐴😉💝
Very happy to see Californias lakes and reservoirs starting to filling up. Hopefully this season will end with all water levels at their normal levels and the long drought is over.
hate to break it to you bud but a drought doesn't end with one season of good rain
The majority of ca is supposed to be desert. Droughts are a normal frequent occurrence in CA. Lunatics on the left are the ones who are brainwashing idiots like you to believe otherwise.
It could harm some insect so California will have to drain as much as possible.
CA can only hold 50% of any average rainy season -all the rest of the rain water floods out to the ocean.. by contrast, Colorado reservoirs can contain 400% of its annual rain fall -that's why they can make $ selling water to southern California.. environmentalist would rather the population and farms die in California than provide sensible water management -wake up!
@@trustedroot Hate to break it to you, but it wont ever end, they make too much money charging people extra for water. Not 5 years ago we had this much rain and the reservoirs were filled to capacity, some overflowing, but they magically emptied out within a a year...
The reporter makes it sound like we’re out of drought. 120% of normal does NOT mean it’s full; it just means we’re ahead of schedule. But in Nov 2021 we were ahead of schedule with the heavy October rains and no rain came from Nov-Jun, leaving us behind schedule.
I guarantee you: if you can mess water conservation up, these people California will mess it up. We need new people managing our water supplies.
You guys didn;t get the big December storm train in 2021? We got tons of snow around Tahoe. Btw water managers cannot make it rain.
@@photonjones5908 we got some rain in December 2021 but the water managers increased outflows from reservoirs with October rains thinking subsequent rains would overburden dams. Even at that time, you had think that was insane. Why should outflows exceed inflows during drought?!?!
Those rains never came. The increased outflows of freshwater just pissed into the ocean in October, leaving reservoirs low going into summer.
You have uneducated people managing water. Let’s get some fresh blood of data scientists, scenario planners, machine learning experts to replace these boomers managing our greatest resource!
We need to get these democrats out and have the professionals manage California.
I’m not pro-Trump by any means but if there was one thing he was right about California when we had wildfires, it was him lambasting our conservation managers for throwing fresh water away into the ocean.
It’s mindless what our water managers do. No big thinking. Just same old 20th century thinking without realizing the data is showing we’re in a different world. Ponderous.
He didnt ‘make it sound’ like anything, you projected what he said into what you wanted to hear.
They will quietly release it in the ocean and claim another drought by summer. All by design.
The moisture is great news here in northern Arizona, also! More, please!!
We're supposed to get snow tonight, just west of NAU here.
Is Snow Bowl open for skiing, snow boarding?
@@paulstaney325 • Oh yes!
So happy to hear Arizona is gaining moisture as too. Yes, more please 🙏
Would love to see the Rio Grande fill back to levels of past decades.
I live in Waco Texas and im hoping and praying that yall do ok and that this cycle of storms will help things out there.
We are all Americans and i dont have to agree with your politics or beliefs to be concerned for yall.
Just like yall dont have to agree with mine.

From drought to flood.
At least the reservoirs are filling up.
My best wishes for Californians.
Wonderful news. Stay safe everyone.
ruined by liberals, letting most of the water into the ocean
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Jesus is a lord of love who does not seek to hurt his people. Let Jesus into your heart and be saved.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ The gay gods gave California these rains. Duh.
❤ that the reservoirs are filling up.
The entire southwest is too dry not just California. We need rain bad!
The entire southwest is a desert buddy. I’m surprised ppl wanna live out that way as long as they’ve been talking about water shortages. Vacation only for me!
Yet more factories are being built there
It's a desert pal. It doesn't rain there
@@jax9769 Without water life cannot exist.
Thank you 2023!!! We needed the drink from heaven!
The drought has been scary so I'm glad that the reservoirs are getting to better levels, but I'm very sorry to see so many people's homes, businesses, and cars affected by the floods. The loss of life has been especially tragic.
People should be careful where they build. The indians were.
Not everything comes free
Hahahahaha, I'll never stop doing my rain dance and shaking my thunder stick at you, hahahahaha!
It has been. It's also scary when they keep building new homes or buildings. It's like those will take more water up too! Lastly, honestly I don't want them to waste the water that is spilling out of the reserves. They should try to save the water that goes over board. You never know, they could go back & say drought again. They should have a plan of keeping that extra water.
Not scary, if you think that, just imagine what you'll think when the flooding really begins
"This amount of water is a staggering punch to the relentless draught"
Great reporting Tom! Feels like I'm watching Rocky coming back from beatings and lands a big knock out against Apollo or Drago
And California will mismanage the water like they usually do, and it’ll be back in a drought once summer is over.
You forgot Clubber Lang, suckah!
Dumping water allows a rise in costs. Next year there will be a water shortage. Just watch.
They will let it out! Can't have a surplus.
FINALLY!!! it's nice to see our east bay hills get green again even in this winter.. it's usually pretty dead these past few years! I hope we don't fall back into this same pattern come summer.
How long will the water last us with all our reservoirs being so full now from the storms?
Hopefully til summer.
It's always dry in summer and always has been in Cali. Just hope for wet winters to come back.
2 months later: " we are in a drought."
When my lawn gets 1 inch of rain a week, it is beautiful green.
But if there is a drought for 4 weeks, and then it gets 4 inches of rain in an hour, then most of the rain just runs off on the surface, and doesn’t soak into the ground. The grass gets a bit greener, but then its back to dying again.
The rain is welcome, but it is nowhere near a replacement for what was missed before, even if it seems to be a lot.
Answered Prayers from Decades and Tears Ago ☔🌧️⛈️🌥️
California really needed this they’ve been dry for several years.
No, California Democrat Gavin Newsom undamned the rivers for "the salmon" and to appease the econotsees super PAC. Which caused the fresh water to all drain back into the ocean. Causing the loss in agriculture and raising food costs and small farmers losing money. So banks can come in and swoop up the land sell it off to corporate farmers. Your elections have consequences. Wake up.
Spring will be extra green this year
@@feliperivas3814 perfect growth for fires next fall
They'll be dry by end of summer . The overblown optimism stinks.
@@drummersinger5324 😂 okay
Tom Vacar- thank you very much for the excellent reporting. You are such a seasoned professional it's really wonderful to get a news from you.
Thank you so much. You rock
Everybody forgets that it was just four years ago that we completely filled up all the reservoirs and we ended the drought. It was not a relentless drought. It was three or four years of drought after we had ended the drought
I've lived here my whole life and this has always been the way the weather has been, extremely dry years like in the 70's followed by extremely wet years like the 80's all the way up until now. The only difference between then and now is the population has gone from 20 million to 40 million and we've only built a few small reservoirs for all those people's needs.
you are right, when it was 115 degrees a few months ago was the giveaway that this was going to happen, long time california residents saw this coming
I remember we had a lot of rain in 2017 2018 Winter however we had the same highs of 111 last year in September for the first two weeks and no rain. I definitely know that it’s cyclical but regardless people need to learn how to conserve water and stop selling all of our water to everyone else. Agriculture Has to also get smarter with their drip systems I live in an agricultural area and they just toss it over everything in the air
Majority of that water is going to be run off it's going to go into the ocean anyways

Nice to see good news reported in spite of the devastation.
Bw Bacon have you noticed it's almost like pulling teeth to get the media to report Anything positive ???
@@jeffedmundson3934 The thing is, negative sells. Media is in it for the money. Always has been, always will be.
Good news yes. Still have to prepare for more hot and dry weather. Conserve, make smart choices for water conservation. Extremely dry and hot conditions all of a sudden becomes a delusion, something ain't right here.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ What does religion have to do with this? God has no place here. We are destroying our own home. Greedy and unimaginative people and ignorant people are ruining our environment, our home. Most people on this planet are not taking the initiative to change it for what would be a better place to live. Complacency, power and greed control our lives. We have the ability to change it. Are you contributing to the practical clean up of our idiocy? Or are you just waiting for Jesus.?
@@jerrys4841 Exactly, just because we're not in a drought now because of the storm doesn't mean we're out of the weeds just yet. It's still the winter rain season where we are supposed to be getting rain. The worst is still to come. These storms brought us materials to work with, now it's up to us to continue doing our part.
So happy for CA WATER!!!
This is unusually excellent reporting. Lots of germane facts and going to the experts. No BS, filler or emotional fluff. Thank you!

We haven't had rainy season in years it's about time so enjoy the weather slow down and get thru it
I feel bad for those affected by flooding (my old neighborhood in Merced was evacuated today from Bear Creek overflowing), but it is so nice to see this rain. Its really heartening to see Oroville 85% of normal plus all the snowback in the mountains above it. Its the state water project's biggest.
It's that double-edged sword. Rain is simply great, but without an actual natural renewing snowpack in the mountains, the "true California water source", it's just a temporary reprieve in the big scheme of things. A pleasant delay.
Oroville is only 38% full. It's poor reporting when talking about reservoir capacity.

Well they are going to have to repair the areas of California affected by the floods. Except California has negative money and Biden allowed $1.7 trillion to go to Ukraine! or at least a very useful cause!…
Sad all the destruction its causing, but hopefully this rain will do us good in the long run.
I love you California ❤❤❤❤.
Not that long - you'll probably be back to drought next year.. this is an anomaly..
No it wouldn't. These reservoirs will be empty in 1 to 2 year
@@raulcasas4548 it sucks bro
@@adammacer no it's not it's a pattern, the last super heavy winter was followed by decade of normal none drought years.

Sucks when people get in the way of all this rain, but as far as the reservoirs,, we got to get it one way or another. This is great news
It is great news!
Make it rain baby! 💸
Despite all this rain, it's going to take years to replenish the aquifers that have been pumped dry by farms in the Central Valley.
It's never going to happen
The majority goes to southern CA. Farming has always been in CA. Stop pointing fingers at the wrong crowd idiot.
I just turned 50 years old. Bought the big house here in southern California for 50K dollars back in 1990s. We did get more rainfall back then.
Mainly sunny Wednesday on the Red River Shore. UNBELIEVABLE. A real miracle. 😅 Addie was here. Fri. FEB10 2023.
Now stop letting Nestle steal the waterto filter it and sell it in bottle water to the people
Salt Lake City / Utah has also been hammered this season. Every storm CA gets ends up in Utah eventually. As I type it is dumping uncharacteristically wet / soupy snow outside my house.
To many people live there too. You put that many people in one area and it strains everything.
Good for SLC!!
Many don't. Often they Peter out first
@Yes Sir where do you live. Wyoming?
@John Doe we have no snow on the ground in iowa right now and 40s during the day. Definitely not normal. 20 years ago the whole month of January was cloudy and the snow just got deeper. This would be warm for November lol.
Finally, somebody talking about the positive side of this hurricane😍😍😍 I still don’t regret, wishing for the storm.
Hurricane?
How stupid are you?
I was born here in CA and lived here my entire life. I despise this place now. Filled with a bunch of morons like you. I can't wait to leave this pending apocalyptic hell hole called CA.

It could rain every day for 15 years and they would still tell us we're in a drought. It's not about water, it's about power and control.
It's literally staring you in the face 50s into the video... The main reservoirs are 42% full and the normal (read non-drought) level is 68% full. Get back to that normal level and you can stop talking about drought.
@@iluvtododrawrings They will never stop talking about drought. They use fake "climate change" as their number one tool for power and control. And idiots believe it.
It's about money they have invested in current EV's, solar, and wind. They want to make you fear global warming and climate change. They will call it whatever they can to make you buy what they have invested in. They need it now, change now, get an EV, and install solar now.
The only real urgency is that tech is advancing super fast, and their investments will be obsolete soon.
Great journalism and encouraging news❤
Glad you guys out west are getting some much needed snow and rain.
This spring is going to be fun at Santa Paula punch bowl hiking trail . My favorite trial in Southern California.
The problem is the soil has no water in it. Groundwater takes time to replenish and a concrete spillway stops water from returning to the ground. Changes need to be made to prevent future shortages.
What? Lol
How many aquifers have been lost to drought or over use by ag, with absolutely nothing done to increase groundwater capture when the rainy years return? There's way too much money and politics in California water. There's BIG money in growing almonds, hay, feed corn, and dairy cows.
@@h2s142earth naturally produces water is what he’s saying. And he’s saying that concrete stops water from returning to the ground cause it gets routed somewhere
@@FORSAKENGARAGE I get that but he complain the "spillway" is made of concrete, does that mean there shouldn't be a spillway or he just doesn't know what spillway is...
Concrete Jungle.
Snowpack is a huge part of the water supply. Over 200% now.
(Still 64% of peak. Will need more for the next few months.)
Do you know if receiving too much snowfall in one season could be bad in any way? Maybe spring floods?
Very happy to see all of the rain and snow even though I’m on the other side of the country 😂
@@davvves7977 the answer is yes. It can cause spring floods. It can also take well into the summer to completely thaw in some of our mountains, which would be more ideal.
@@davvves7977 mudslides and avalanches are also possible, but most people don't live up there or are aware of such risks.

It's wonderful news for anyone who wasn't swept away by the flooding waters...
I read your "Edible Panties In The Workplace" vlog and found it to be very insightful and informative.
Wow thats good news during bad times. Answered prayer
Great news concerning the long drought. What about Lake Mead, Lake Powell and the Colorado River??
fucking what about them?? what's your point?
Still a drought so...
lake mead has risen a foot so far, but that's not really enough.
Problem is they will let the water out (I don't know the reason but they do) into the ocean and the summer, we will be in drought and no water in the reservoirs.
But that's not a problem. Water naturally flows to the ocean.
U don't know why they let the water out lol. For one the reservoirs are made by building dams on rivers. If you don't let it out it overtops the dam and washes it away. Hard to store water after the dam is gone.
@@kbanghart ya that's what rivers do lol
Excellent reporting!
KTVU had a similar report in the Dec 2021 time frame after a good bout of storms filled the reservoirs. A mere 6 months later the state declared a "massive drought" for the area. Question: why doesn't the state enlarge the reservoirs (or create new ones) in the dry seasons to catch more of this water rather than let it spill over and drain off?
Indeed, there was a lot of rain a year ago and it was looking good but then, as you said, it just straight up stopped. No number of reservoirs is going to make a difference if it doesn't rain. Plus the cost, financially, ecologically, etc. would outweigh the benefits.
@@grakkerful I drove from SF to Carson City in June of 2022 and the mountain reservoirs were full and there was still snow on the mountains. Someone's lying, just sayin'.
It's made worse because all the groundwater has been stripped from the land it will take hundreds of years and alot more rain to fix the damage that has done.
Because the law of diminishing returns exists. The proposed site of reservoirs aren’t very good and do not have a great way to be filled by rainfall. Reservoirs were built in the best places to start with, California has 1300 reservoirs so what you are looking at now is the 1301 best place. Keep in mind urban water use has remained constant, what has grown is agricultural water use. Maybe farmers could implement better water conservation policies, unlikely as they are as stupid as they are ornery, but that is the majority of the water.
What we need to do for urban centers is water reclamation, reusing water by filtering already used water is easier than desalination and doesn’t have to be pumped from ocean side 100s of miles away and 100s of feet in elevation.
CA doesn't have enough water storage. I wish every new home has an underground tank, just like houses in Bermuda. That will translates to millions and millions of gallons that we could store and can be used during dry season without exhausting our water supply.
All this water,where's it going. Think there's things not shared with us!
I'm happy to hear it🤞
Great fruits and veggies from Cal this year!
Doesn’t matter if it’s filled to the top. Cali will still limit our water use & shower time.
Calif will dump water to save the minnows and by august raise water prices and declare a drought. Back to the same old same old by august

Good to hear.
We really shouldn't be in a position where reservoirs are spilling water one year then going into drought the next. This year has been good but most of the past decade hasn't; more capacity should be built to save every drop possible and ameliorate multi-year drought effects.
Lol u are clueless. "Spilling" is totally the wrong word unless u are talking about a cup. No reservoir on earth is designed to prevent flow downstream. It would be an immediate failure within one year as water would just go over the dam. If u know anything about water then u know the dam would then wash out followed by any towns downstream of said dam. Your comment lacks common sense and critical thinking entirely.
I hope so cuz this rain is out of control!!
I'm here in Marin.... we didn't get hit bad at all...
But south and north of us has...
That's awesome ... so glad to see California get that much needed water
That’s huge , let’s go !!!
It would take months of precipitation like this to restore the ground water reserve. This is welcome, but it's only a short-term reprieve.
Too bad Governor Brown didn’t build the reservoirs the size they were approved for back in the day.
El nino has come, in Australia it’s getting a bit dryer now compared to a few months ago
I know people have short memories, but I hope all of this reminds people how precious water is and that conservation of water is so important even in 'normal' times, because it can go bad really quickly and there is very little we can do to recover. We are at the mercy of nature.
California's water problem was caused by corporations, not individuals.
@@jadapinkett1656 Really? So all those lawns being watered and pools filled were corporations? Diabolical!
I'm afraid the answer is no.
People will go right back to wasting water as always. And do little or nothing to curb their carbon emissions.

You need water California just be patient
The water boards will still find ways to increase the water consumption charges for consumers. The SoCal population benefits from NorCal's floods.
SoCal is flooding too, just not as bad.
If I remember correctly, Southern California helped pay for Lake Orovilles with extra taxes decades ago.

We’re finally given all of this water yet a large majority is being let go into the ocean to become useless, with the rest to be severely depleted within a few months from poor management. I can confidently say it won’t be long till we’re right back to where we started with cries of “we’re in a drought, we could really use some rain right now!” as if we hadn’t utterly wasted the precious resource when it had been so plentiful.
Thank your so nothing officials & politicians of CA , yeah that’s you I am taking too Dems ! 👍🤛
Stay safe everyone!
Covering San Francisco in 49 feet of water would be a gift from God.
I can’t wait for the fishing after the storm!!! But this the fist time Iv ever seem something flooding in my town crazy
We need it, we need the rain. We've had years and years of drought.
These reports are basically useless unless they also give the % of full for each reservoir. Knowing the % full "for this time of year" is meaningless.
Mother Nature is healing itself❤
