Why is the media so quiet about the most global rainfall I've ever seen in my lifetime?

What's the name of it? I was under impression Lake Orowille was the last one built.
Eric Holder saysThe reservoir capacity in CA was built for much smaller population. When was the last time we had big reservoir built - 1968?
Not true, a HUGE one was completed in the last 10 years in San Bernardino county.

I'm afraid we're well past 39 now, with all the illegals and hobos flooding in for the last 20 years...
I keep asking people who think we can new-reservoir our way out of the problem over the next 100 years of unchecked population growth: How long does each (arbitrarily chosen metric for scale) cubic mile of new storage capacity supply the state's current 39 million residents?

Most are at average or above 50% of average amd the winter season has just started. Besides artificial and political drainage they are set to reach the average easily by spring. There is no drought except for the one the politicians have been working on to fuck up reservoirs and not build new ones or expand existing ones. It's all bullshit and we know it. Drought's over, which of course will not stop those assholes from raising prices
mell saysThat's not true they are not at record lows, they have recovered a lot. What is true that they don't do a good enough job at making sure all that rainfall can be stored when weather happens. Still there is no drought anymore at all, not even in the West.

Here is an interactive map showing today's current reservoir levels. 9 of 12 stand far below the date's historic average level. The 3 that are at or slightly above historic average today are all in the Southern half of the state, not a result of the extreme ~2 days of rain events in the Northwest. Despite all the runoff water these extreme events dropped over the entire watershed of the dams in question getting impounded by the dams, with nothing that could...

You are viewing today's stats. Look the year to date totals, then view what we got, then expected, and then the difference. There has been plenty of rains over the lakes not in the expected annual rainfall. Those three charts alone tell you that this is a record wet year.
This is directly from NOAA's website. Zoom in to the region you want. Select 30 day precipitation, percent of normal. https://water.weather.gov/precip/?source=patrick.net

I was able to leave the sprinkler system off for the entire season and I still have a lush green lawn. We had heavy rain about once a week. Coastal Virginia.
How's the rain where you live,

This year it's a lush lawn that looks like Groundskeeper Willie is tending to it. I keep seeing the Atlantic covered in Thunderstorm systems, not tropical storm systems. That extent from the US, dips down into the Jetstream and goes up to the Sahara. There's tons of rain in the Western US as well. I wonder if we'll get an update on Lake Powell.
Sudan in Africa is experiencing record floods in over 60 years. What in the fuck have the white hats and do gooders been doing with all of the money we send them? Sure as hell didn't build Flood canals and reservoirs to catch and store monsoon rains when they come.. But we do have more warlords and EU refugees than ever Stop giving Sally Scruther's money the bitch is killing them with it.
How's the rain where you live, has it just been cloudy but not rainy, is this map deceiving me? Have you been getting tons of rain?
Also due to precipitation everywhere, this has been a dismal noneventful Hurricane season. Spite the place holder claim they make every year, that it will be the hottest, and driest and most productive hurricane season on record. They say that every May, without a shred of proof or evidence.
This is dry day compare to many I have been watching.
