re: A long-dormant lake has reappeared in California, bringing havoc along with it

I guess they weren’t complying with WOTUS when developing the area. Of course it’s hard to know which WOTUS definition applies from month to month.

A couple of thoughts:
1- Seems like there was a lot of concern the last couple of years of lakes drying up in Cali. I guess that concern has really lessened.
2- Wasn't there a similar thing around here a few years ago, maybe in the Atchafalaya basin, where people had taken to farming in a spillway for years and years and were kind of put out when it either was or was considered to be open to divert water?

Maybe don’t purposely drain lakes when you live in an arid environment. Hopefully they keep the lake filled as they need to have the water

Coastlines that historically used to be fully underwater also flood. frick, florida was basically a few islands at some points in history.

The flooding is due to a series of levee failures from when we had a warm series of storms come through. Lower elevation snowpack melted off and this happened. It didn't just reappear. They expect this to last for at least a few months. Aside from the impacted communities this is a prolific growing area that will be out of production for at least part of the season. It will be felt nationwide on a variety of crops. Much more than that shitty article lists.

First off, not too many true climate scientist would ever talk about an individual weather pattern and, certainly not to say which specicifically is climate change vs whatever. Second, climate change is less about all one thing or another, and more about wilder swings in known weather patterns. Third, citizens of Louisiana, of all states, are really talking about short-sighted land-use decisions by other states' citizens?

And how can they know what a wild swing is? They only have good data less than 100 years old.

The farming areas of Cali are usually pretty rural and usually pretty right wing. Regardless of politics this is a tragedy and not only does it suck for the folks who flooded but it will likely translate to higher prices on some items for the rest of the country.

So what they are saying is, now there is new property that is lake front and the value is gonna go up for the new properties?

Careful.
You are about to blow the collective minds of the Rantards who think everyone in California is a transvestite.

terrible analogy. People in the South build in river basins that flood all the time.

In the South it used to flood every Spring and often times we were threatened by drought in the Fall.
Then we built reservoirs to collect the water in the Spring (saving tens of thousands of homes) and draw from in the Fall when needed.
California deserves the floods and droughts because they voted for them.
When they are tired of floods, then droughts they can change this with just a team of bulldozers.

Is it lakefront or ocean front property?
I think somebody wrote a song about it.
