In 2019. Sure could use the water now: <U+201C>Our reservoirs are brimming with water. So far this year, 8.4 trillion gallons of rainwater has gone to the ocean. It is equal to a year's supply of water for 259 million people. This is absurd.<U+201D>~Kristi Diener, CA Water for Food & People https://t.co/G0Dw1ZUnIn

Why is the #CreekFire so hard to control? Two million tons of dead trees. Repeat: TWO MILLION TONS OF DEAD TREES. #forestmanagement https://t.co/tPM04WGRto
These storms are filling our reservoirs and recharging our underground aquifers. This is an answer to our prayers. I will continue to be a strong voice and vote for water flow management for food and people. We must save this water now so we can use it when it is needed. https://t.co/IsRtygtRzR
Today we learned the Trump administration has reversed the #FEMA denial and has approved a federal disaster declaration for the #CreekFire. Homeowners will get the help they need to cleanup now. #CalOES and Fresno County will work to start removing toxic debris immediately. https://t.co/AId5AHqkPd
Another haphazard CA law. This is a water use goal w/ NO way to measure indoor vs. outdoor use. This will NOT be enforced for that reason. The irony? CA Dems continue to pass phony water laws while flushing millions of gallons out to the ocean.https://t.co/wHU4zSDSFk
2019 was a wet year, but our reservoirs were emptied. Now, in the midst of a dry year, we sure could use that water. CA water bureaucrats are committing operational malpractice by flushing water out to sea as if the reservoirs don<U+2019>t exist. The result of such stupidity is obvious.

My reward from Mimi for hanging up her new wind chimes on the patio, taking out the garbage bins last night, and retrieving them this morning, watering her succulents, and drying a load of wash. Thats a bag of Oreos with Mega Stuff! Hey, honey, anything else you need? https://t.co/9n3plFOTvL
Over seven weeks since the #CreekFire started. Almost 1,000 structures burned. No time to waste in the cleanup process. We are going to have huge amounts of waste running into our watersheds if the bureaucracies dont get moving on permits. Now. https://t.co/BgzH3994pa
#CREEKFIRE CLEANUP: Deadline to sign up for Phase 2 debris removal is on January 15. https://t.co/pwP8yPjgok
