Nice But …
California is getting rain, a lot of rain. The precipitation that is falling as snow in the mountains is really good – for skiing and the water supply, but there are mudslides in the burn zones and floods in SoCal, where the infrastructure just can’t handle heavy rain.
In addition to the flooding in Los Angeles, they have a major environmental and public health problem in the form of a natural gas leak:
The governor of California has declared a state of emergency in a suburb of Los Angeles over the leaking of methane gas from an underground storage field.
Methane is an even worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and they don’t believe they will be able to stop the leak before February. People living nearby are reporting health problems.
It seems like every time something goes right for California lately, something else has to happen to offset it.
