This area where we live got 14- inches of snow! Trees, power lines fell. Roads were closed. PG&E has their head up Newsom butt! They weren’t prepared at all. What a mess. W/ o power for 7- days due to the meter at this park showed we had power. But the idiots didn’t see that there is 185 homes connected to this one meter! Thank God we have a generator. Showers all day today. Many people are still out of power. Outside independent workers have been asked to come and help with this mess. One large area will take up to a month to get power up and running! That area looks like a war zone, lines are on the road. Transformers are on the ground! We are 150 % above our normal water level now. Not yet one month into winter. |

Here's where California reservoirs stand 3 days after the storm Amy Graff, SFGATE Oct. 28, 2021 Charts from the California Department of Water Resources show reservoir levels on Oct. 22 (left) and Oct. 27 (right). California Department of Water Resources A fierce atmospheric river blew across California on Sunday and Monday, delivering a torrent of rain and snow to a water-starved state. Californians hoped the storm would help quell wildfire risk and ease the dire drought conditions that have developed after two consecutive dry winters. California Department of Water Resource's drought manager Jeanine Jones said the storm did reduce wildfire risk and brought significant amounts of rain, but the drought is not over. "Clearly, obviously not," Jones said in an interview with SFGATE earlier this week. "We’ve had one storm." What about reservoirs? Jones said it can take several days to see the full impact on reservoirs as water continues to run through watersheds and into streams in the days after a storm. Lake Oroville, the state's second-largest reservoir, has already made significant gains after the storm. The lake level rose 28 feet and gained roughly 166,000 acre-feet of water after the storm, the Department of Water Resources data showed. An acre-foot is the volume of water it would take to cover an acre in water a foot deep, and each acre-foot is equal to about 326,000 gallons. Lake Oroville was just under 658 feet on Wednesday, and at this level, it can store 966,000 acre-feet. Lake Shasta rose 3 feet and gained 34,590 acre-feet, the data showed. If that's too many numbers to conceptualize, the Department of Water Resources' reservoir level tracker is an easy-to-use tool that provides a clear picture of how full the state's key reservoirs are. Graphics from the department below show how full reservoirs were on Oct. 22 compared with Oct. 27. Shasta Lake, the state's largest reservoir, went from 21% of capacity to 22%. Lake Oroville rose from 23% of capacity to 27%. The increases on the smaller reservoirs are more dramatic as less water is required for a big number capacity rise. Folsom Lake, which is nearly a fifth the size of Shasta Lake, went from 22% full to 31%. Charts from the California Department of Water Resources show reservoir levels on Oct. 22 (left) and Oct. 27 (right). In the San Francisco Bay Area, smaller reservoirs in local water districts also saw reservoir levels rise. Emma Detwiler, a spokesperson for Marin Municipal Water District, said the district's seven reservoirs were at 32% of capacity before the storm and jumped to 40% after. Detwiler said the Lake Lagunitas reservoir has recorded 17 inches of rain since Oct. 16. On Oct. 24 alone, 10.5 inches were measured. This is the most rain since 1890, she said. |
