Ya'll gettin enough water?

[Svnla]

Saw on CBS News this morning about CA is in a huge drought and how restaurants/BnB owners have to pay big money to have water to bring in by trucks and even those temporary trucks will be gone soon.

I will put this here, from NatGeo.

And yet in P+N, we have bozos advocate to have more and more people to come in the US with no restriction. Hey, let feed and house the whole world population, what the worse could happen.

.Too much water could be very bad too.

Or spread it over area of ocean suffering desalination.

or just load up a tanker and dump it through the middle of the pacific, which is gigantic.

Makes it more expensive. Since it's already expensive (high energy costs in particular), that doesn't improve feasibility - until states/countries get very desperate.

 

[Red Squirrel]

But like I said, when it comes to oil it seems money is no object. Oil tankers, oil rigs etc are very expensive too. Water is kinda more important.

Yesterday a deluge washed out my garden and damaged parts of my lawn.

Today we are supposed to have a heat wave. The kind that kills oldies and children.

What state do you live in shorty?

 

[Fritzo]

water supply is why i'm never moving very far away from the great lakes

Same here...all of our water gets recycled due to Lake Erie

Now, keeping the damned algae out of the lake is another story...

What state do you live in shorty?

Northeast has been getting a crap ton of rain since spring time.
I was talking to a neighbor last night how nice it was to not have a water ban but I haven’t needed to water anything in months.

 

[skyking]

I brought 104 oz of half ice half water in my lunch bucket and not much food. it's going to be in the high 80s today.

Yes, our reservoirs are full. I haven't watered the lawn and still not burnt grass (well, not burnt weeds in the back lawn ). My wife's rosebush looks like it's going to take over that back corner of our lot.
Heat indices for the next three days up in the 100s (freedumb units).

Hello Boomer - I'm doomer

NOT HUMAN.

[Ajay]

Not another bot?!

 

[shortylickens]

Damn, in the middle of a heat warning, and we're about to get rain in 2 hours, according to the weather guy.

Gonna be gross all weekend.

wouldn't that make it cooler and less humid?

 

[shortylickens]

no.

the water on the ground immediately turns to steam and the whole town smells like a hot tub after 10 fat smelly bastards have been soaking in it.

 

[sdifox]

no.

so you are talking about tiny amount of rain then.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I find rain always makes the temp drop right down. Crazy how fast it can happen too. Can get a 20 degree drop in like 10 minutes. Then it's crappy for like a week.

For a while it seemed like it was cooling down, and leaves are even starting to yellow but in past few days it's been very hot, think we're entering another heat wave. 28C feels like 35C

 

[shortylickens]

happened again.
rain pounded ridiculously hard for 5 minutes.
garden washed out.

One day I gotta hire some guys to remake everything.
Pain in the butt.

 

[sdifox]

28 feel like 33 right now. At least there is wind.

 

[Ajay]

32C feels like 38C. Feels like hot soup outside.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Wind is crazy here too and so is heat and humidity. Won't complain at this point though, because in general it has been cooling down especially at night. Leaves are starting to change colour too. It's like clockwork as soon as August hits. Winter is coming.

That's a bunch of crap. The polar ice is melting at alarming rates. The water's coming....just be patient!

 

[skyking]

we had our first rains on Friday Saturday the amounted to a couple of tenths of an inch after a 51 day dry spell. back to dry for the foreseeable future.

I drank 137 ounces today.

105F Heat Index today, not awesome. To top it off, ragweed season is early this year (why does that effing weed even exist!).
