NOAA: Drought Returning to California, Nevada

NOAA informs that California and Nevada are once again drying out and fast. Large swaths of both California and Nevada are facing a summer of extreme drought, particularly in the southeast corners of those states. Note the summer heatwaves haven't even begun yet. The deeper the colors on the map below reflect where the drought will be more severe and intense. Earlier this year America's Godzilla wasted 2.2 billions of gallons of California's water by opening dams against the wishes of the US Army Corps of Engineers and Sacramento. The Trumpf junta also refused to honor a treaty with Mexico over sharing water.

... Earlier this year America's Godzilla wasted 2.2 billions of gallons of California's water by opening dams against the wishes of the US Army Corps of Engineers and Sacramento. ...

Pres Trump was told this might be the effect of his releasing the water.

But releasing the water allowed him to put on a show.

Now the farmers may be paying for that show.

#1: That's quite an expensive show the farmers will be paying for, thanks to the Dotard. Wasting the nation's resources for his personal benefit is par for the course. And of course, Trumpf cheats at golf too.

Trump-supporting farmers often have signs expressing their adoration of this fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat on the edge of their property, where passing motorists can see. Just identify those farmers and explain to them that their water has literally passed over the dam and under the bridge, and they get no more...

@#3 ... their water has literally passed over the dam ...

Over the dam?

Or through the discharge chutes?

The reason I ask is that "over the dam" implies an excessive rainfall that is causing a designed spillage of water to protect the dam.

"Through the discharge chutes implies an intentional release.

Given NOAA did not correctly forecast this past several year wet period, I don't put much stock in their fear mongering now.

Democrats love them some droughts. It's their favorite word, a hold over from when it was global "warming" before they needed to change it.

It's still global warming, little buddy.

You're the clever one who thinks Volcanoes make as much CO2 as Cars. Remember?

Given you're worthless, stupid pile of s*&^, nobody gives a flying f*&^ what you put stock in.

Nice deflection from the topic at hand you ------------ pile of dried c&^ flakes flicked off a cheap motel mattress.

I'm sure in two years you'll have a different sycophantic take completely disconnected from your ignorant pile of s*&^ statements posted now.

fwiw...

NOAA forecasts extraordinarily busy Atlantic hurricane season (May 2004)
www.axios.com

... By the numbers: The NOAA is forecasting the season will bring 85% odds of an above normal season, with 17-25 named storms of tropical storm intensity or greater, eight to 13 of which will become hurricanes, and four to seven major hurricanes of Category 3 or greater. ...

And, guess what happened?

2024 Atlantic hurricane season
en.wikipedia.org

... The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active and extremely destructive Atlantic hurricane season that became the third-costliest on record, behind only 2017 and 2005.

The season featured 18 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes; it was also the first since 2019 to feature multiple Category 5 hurricanes. ...

Remember the millions of illegals that were flooding the border under Biden? You said it was because of climate change. Now that they aren't flooding the border must be that climate change has been fixed.

Yup. That's it. The border is fixed. Climate change is fixed. The government is fixed. Social Security is fixed. The economy is fixed. Our health care system is fixed. The budget is balanced trade deficit eliminated and the dollar is strong and the world is at peace! And also I am no longer going bald and my penis is huge!

It's amazing. Trumpy done fixed everything and the world loves us and our huge penises again!

Let's celebrate by having a military parade and rounding up a few dozen homegrown terrorists and marching then thru the streets and then sending them to straight to a El Salvadoran prison hell. Where they obviously belong. Also. When is the Purge? Is that right after the parade? I need new stuff and there is a couple of rich Others living nearby.

Why hasn't NOAA been Doged?

We don't need no stinking NOAA telling us about how our planet and our Oceans work and bossing our fishermen around. They should be able to catch ALL the fish if they want to because, well, Freedom!

We don't need no NOAA halfass predicting the weather and the climate.

After all.. We already have the Weather Channel!!

Nothing trump's magic sharpie can't fix.

That ranks right up there with "rich people buy beach houses therefore climate change isn't real".

How could I forget Trumpy's magic sharpie?

With Trumpy's magic sharpie we don't even need the Weather Channel!

Trumpy can just send any dangerous storms directly to the blue states with his magic sharpie.

#23 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-04-15 01:56 PM

And let's not forget about Trumpy's Giant Faucet.

He can just turn that thing on and eliminate that drought before you can say "Quick! Flood the zone with more BS!"

If only California and Nevada would just kiss Trumpy's arse properly he could have ended that drought today. Or on "day one" even.

Didn't read your own article, did you? "California is split into two, with the southern half forecast to be drier than usual. The northern half of the state is shown in white, meaning it has equal chances of a dry or wet winter."
