    Woo HOOOH

    WATER!!!!

    Godzilla El Nino appears to be delivering! This October we got 400% of our normal amount of moisture. (To put that in perspective, we got more water in October than we did ALL last year.) We are expecting our 3rd storm in 3 weeks coming this weekend.

    We might actually be able to swim our dogs this coming summer!!!!

    Is that good? To get so much all at once? Won't a lot run off and do a lot of damage as it does? I guess it depends on 400% of what? LOL, 400% of what's normal in Death Valley might still be practically nothing. I don't know where you are.

    Hopefully, this is exactly what your section of the country really needs. So many on the west coast are suffering from years of drought.

    Oh, no... this works out great because it falls in the Sierras (we are in Northern NV). Now... if we get a Godzilla El Nino (and it looks pretty certain) and we get tons of snow (like, for instance, when the Donner Party had their Sierra Winter) and then if it melts all at one time in the Spring (like it did in 1998) then... yep, we are going to have a Truckee River that might over-run its banks. (In 1998 it actually flowed into the gaming floors of the casinos downtown. It flooded the bus station. It closed the train tracks through town. Every couple of decades the smartest engineers in the country come down and re-design spillways and bridges and swear THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!! Until the next big snow season with catastrophic melt off.)

    But I live at 5000 feet and look down on the Truckee. My floors will stay dry. BUT, speaking as a retriever person... WATER!!!! It will end up in the Harmon Reservoir and Stillwater Wildlife preserve and Woo HOOO! We can swim out dogs!
