    I'm sure it's just that simple ...

    It's really not whole lot more complex than that. They diverted farm water before drought conditions got severe. Boxer and Co with Obama's hammer

    It's raining today

    Are you living in the drought region, Race?

    I notice Gov Brown is trying to ram through a $2billion tax increase that promises rain.

    I'm not in the severe area. It is actually worse up north around Sacramento and the Valley.

    Does this mean the Okies move back to their homes?

    What does diverting farm water have to do with global warming?

    Without the global warming, the farms would have their water already.

    Irregardless, it's raining in California right now so this whole poont is mute.

    I knew when Obama went to Cali the rain would follow. As I type this the lame are lining up outside the White House gates...

    Not the case at all. I've been driving through there since 2008. The water was diverted before the drought. This is actually man made, by Boxer and her fellow democrats

    It can rain for 40 days and the dead farms will remain

    You'd think such a non partisan guy would know something like that

    If you limited your poasts to things you know something about, then we'd never hear from you?

    Don't know enough about the situation down there. Was this for environmental reasons or preservation of potable water? Dangerous precedent, water rights will be the major issue going forward

    We're finally up to about 100% snowpack up here now. I have family members in ag in Warshington St. Irrigation outlook looking fine. Another month of winter to build it up as well

    On the other hand, fuck California - today, tmrw, and forever. They voted in Boxer, Feinstein, Gov Brown

    You don't think the emergency water level drawdown of 20' behind the Wanapum dam will have an impact on E Washington irrigation?

    Wouldn't think so, most of the water for CBP is diverted far upriver at Grand Coulee
