WATER and POWER - A California Heist

WATER and POWER - A CALIFORNIA HEIST

Over the long weekend a friend of mine texted me the name of a great documentary on Netflix he said I must watch, and so I did watch this great movie.

I have been traveling back and forth from Las Vegas to San Jose now for around 4 years for work. On my long 8 hour drives I would drive through Bakersfield and then around 180 miles on Interstate 5. 

I-5 runs right through the Central Valley of California and during my drive I would see all these signs about water, etc on the sides of the Interstate. 

Signs that read ... Water is for growing Food, No Water, Government Politics Controlling our Water, etc. Over 50% of the farm fields are dried up dirt with no crops growing for many years.

There are even families around these areas that have not had water in their homes for years.

And as soon as I viewed this movie WATER and POWER - A California Heist I know what the real reason was for the drought.

Rain has been hitting many parts of California now for around 3-4 weeks off and on. 

There have been people that have drowned by the flooding and thousands of people that have had to evacuate their homes.

In the Bay Area in Northern California we are suppose to have sunshine tomorrow & Friday.

And Saturday, Sunday and Monday more rain.

Word has it Californians want to resurrect Noah so he can build some arks should California continue to get more rain ;o)

Will the rain ever stop in California or will the state continue to get bombarded with rain and more flooding?

Or is it possible that the earth will once again be covered with water?
