This is not uplifting news. This is dystopic news

But does he know about second drought?

Then utilities wouldn't make any money from you. Can't have that can we?

We're all still in one, just not in the "exceptional" category, only "severe" or "moderate" now.

I wish there was a system where the water could be sent to the reservoirs and not flow back to the ocean.
I wish our city also allowed us to store rain water. It would be helpful in gardening and growing crops.

Lots of places have bans on washing cars in the driveway. I'm guessing OP just doesn't want to take his car to a professional car wash place.

Exactly. This is good but not the end. It would take many good rains over many seasons to get all of California drought free.
I recall it being more about the way the ground retains moisture and how it’s been affected after being dry for so long.

A guy we know has storage space and currently have a dozen late model teslas stored there with destroyed batteries. There's a high likelihood they're totals due to battery replacement costs.
To be fair, insurance usually totals cars in floods now. There were floods in the midwest years ago and after the cars were fixed they had nothing but problems with electronics thereafter.

Just don't do the wrong thing or egg beaters will fall from the sky.

Reply to comment by brett1081 in 'Extreme' drought status nearly eliminated in California in wake of atmospheric rivers by are_slash_wash
Whenever there’s a water crisis anywhere, and the residential usage is published, it’s usually quite small relative to agriculture. What percentage of its overall water supply does Phoenix use?

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Paizo is releasing a new creative license in response to WotC's restrictive licensing by TBTabby
You mean like the OGL did before? Because it is totally legal to reprint most of the 3.x core rules and Pathfinder and even take money for it. The OGL is all about copying the SRD verbatim.
If they do what you say, they are going the same way as WotC: Offering a more restrictive license than the OGL before.
Also making expansions, modules and scenarios does not require a license at all.

Same reason I take a shower and wash my dishes. I want my things clean. Also, the water from my tap is not "perfectly good drinking water". It's awful, smells bad, and is far from "perfect". It came from the ground, and it is going back to the ground. It'll be fine.

Maybe not the Rockies, but the Sierra got rain and snow. The snow pack is 150-200+% of normal. The foothills have got a lot of rain. The reservoirs are starting to fill, but we will still need more rain Feb.-April to fill them.

Thank goodness! The reservoirs are starting to fill up (1/3+ now). The snowpack is 150% to 200% of normal in different part of the Sierras. The rivers are getting their fill. And the groundwater will start to replenish.
Hopefully, they can repair the broken levies, and it's sad for those that lost their lives during the rain storms.

I've never tried it so I have no empirical tests yet.
