Subject: RE: California - drought or flood?


There is no general problem with flooding.  There are spots, almost always in the mountains, where fires burned all the grass, vegetation, trees, and whatever.  Those areas can have mudslides without a lot of rain.  I have yet to hear of flooding anywhere in the San Joaquin Valley.  The rain in California often falls on the west side of the costal mountain range and on the west side of the Sierra Nevada's.  That is caused by the clouds being pushed up the mountains by an easterly wind and cooling down.  The air then has less capacity to hold moisture, so we get rain.  The reverse is generally true on the east side of these same mountain ranges.
