Acting on Trump’s order, federal officials opened up two California dams
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.
That article is really struggling hard to avoid bluntly saying that there was absolutely fuck-all reason to release the water. "Unclear," my ass -- it's blatantly obvious that, without even any vaguely plausible good reason, the only reason that remains is malice: to deliberately fuck over the state by depriving it of water it's gonna need later.
This is such a stupid fucking idea. They've had a dry winter already. Shits gonna be bad for water come this summer and if they have a dry summer they're pretty much fucked.
If it hurts California it's just a bonus for him
This is very bad....summer this year is going to be very expensive for water.
According to federal data, the flow from Terminus Dam into the Kaweah River near Visalia increased from 57 cubic feet per second to more than 1,500 on Friday morning. The flow from Lake Success near Porterville into the Tule River increased from 105 cubic feet per second to 990.
Holy fucking shit.
It has barely rained around me this winter. I'm sure this won't bite us in the ass later this year when it's 107 and the state is burning again.
What could possibly go wrong...
It's California. Will Trump care if this directly leads to tragedy in 5 months?
Just landlord things, fuck things up
A drought? Put some white spray paint over it.
