California, despite the hype, is not drowning.
It's raining hard. That's about it. Coming at the end of a multi-year drought, that's a good thing.
By the numbers:
Montecito, where Degenerate lives, is a seaside/hillside community of 8000 people too rich for Beverly Hills. You could look it up. The average household income is over a quarter of a million/year. It sits in low hills, at the base of the even taller Santa Ynez coastal range, which wrings moisture out of clouds before it gets to the Central Valley like a dish washer does with a sponge. It doesn't flood there. The water runs down the hills to the sea. As it has for tens of thousands of years before the hillsides there were infested with multi-million-dollar mansions on 40-acre plots. Hell, guest houses in that neighborhood go for mid 7-figure prices. Degenerate buys and sells Montecito estates for $20M profits like Donald Trump used to play Monopoly with actual Manhattan properties. I know Montecito, because I lived in SB for 2 years. Montecito is the old rich, and the brighter Hollywood types smart enough to GTF out of the Hollyweird Hills.
It rains there all the time, every winter. And creeks flash with flood waters, because every summer, there are huge brush fires in the surrounding hills, as there have been since lightning met trees. A creek that rages 4 days out of 365 isn't a dreaded unnatural catastrophe, even in the land of mansions and tennis courts.
Telling us that the hillside creek behind her mansion never runs heavy is just Ellen telling us she hasn't lived there long enough to see otherwise. Rain falls on mountains, and runs downhill. That's not us being bad to Nature, Ellen, you incredible blithering fool, that's called gravity. STFU, go back inside, and turn up the gas fireplace.
It also doesn't flood in Califrutopia. At least, not the way people in the Mississippi basin think of flooding.

| Actual Mississippi flooding. When it happens, it's biblical. |
It rains here, when it rains, which hits the mountains, and gets jetted out to sea by flood control channels. Here today, gone tomorrow. People who build houses at the bottom of the mudslide, on hillsides, or other stupid places, find out what dumbasses they are every 5-10 years or so. But they like the view, and rebuild, and it repeats the next time we get a wet year. Other than stopping government subsidies for idiots like that, and letting them drown or get buried under mudslides, there's not much that needs to be done, other than getting the dozers out tomorrow, and plowing the mud off the roads everyone else uses.
People want to blame Gov. Gabbin Nuisance over this, but it isn't really his fault. If it were, I'd happily tag him for it. He inherited it. This is owned completely by Gov. Moonbeam, and four terms of anti-growth lunacy. Moonbeam's dad, despite running the state into the ground in so many ways, wasn't a total moron. He built dams, aqueducts, power plants, and freeways, that made life here what it is. And they were built on the reg, until his idiot son, Moonbeam, decided that the way to get people not to come here was to stop building more freeways, and power plants, and reservoirs. So they came here anyways (mostly the toothless banjo-playing liberal idiot kinfolk from the other 49 states, plus mega-fucktons of illegal immigrants). Without a single dam, reservoir, water project, power plant, or freeway built since Moonbeam's first term, and all the money going to useless eaters and shiftless layabouts, instead of people building things. Everything wrong with America, in microcosm.
And consequently, in dry years there isn't enough water, there isn't enough power any year, the freeways are pot-hole infested turd world parking lots most hours, seven days a week, and the money collected to build more of them has been squandered on welfare for the exact liberal idiot lunatic drunk drug addicted banjo-paying kinfolk, and millions of illegals and their illiterate gang-banger anchor babies. Diversity is our strength! Said no one ever.
Which anyone who's been here longer than Ellen and her idiot carpetbagger ilk knows in their bones, from firsthand observation.
Hereabouts, it's rained about 2" since yesterday morning, and 1" of that is since midnight. Wind gusts up to 30MPH. People in New England go sailing it that kind of weather, FFS. The last time I saw a storm this ferocious, was the last wet year here. Or any spring or summer afternoon in mid-Georgia, round about 2PM.
Farther north, it's been a harsher storm, and parts of the Central Valley, being flat as a pancake and bone dry, will take longer to dry out than the coastal regions do. But it's nothing that hasn't happened time and again in these parts, and won't happen again. Unless you got here yesterday, and leave tomorrow, like most of the career locusts here from Anyplace Else.
Supposedly, this storm and attendant flooding have killed 14 people. Darwinism in action, in most cases, with only 19,999,986 more to go to return this once-golden state back to what it was before the carpetbaggers, Okies, and hippies from everywhere-but-Here fucked it all up.
Rain? Storm? It is to laugh. Welcome to California. Now go home.

Just because neither some drooling crayon merchant at the Hartford Courant, nor any of his woketard editors, know anything about how every tribe in the Americas got here from somewhere else, it doesn't change history. FTR, there's no one on either continent of the Americas who qualifies as "indigenous peoples", since ever. Everybody here, from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, came here from somewhere else, or descended from those who did. You could look it up. History here didn't start in 1492, nor 1620. Only idiots make that mistake. And they keep doing it, over and over. We're not a nation of immigrants. We're two continents of immigrants. Anyone who doesn't like it is welcome to go back where they came from, and nobody has first claim on anything here, except by current possession.
