Hmm... rain expected in the next 7 days in SoCal. Also a LOT of rain there in the midwest. #CAwx #rain
@ai6yr and it seems to miss the Corpus Christi area in Texas, for the most part. They have a little water issue

@carstenfranke Oh wow. I am usually on top of this stuff, but the war signals are overwhelming the normal media and this stuff is getting lost.

The Corpus Christi Water Crisis Isn't Exceptional. It's Early.

@ai6yr

The main problem (IMHO as a retired, Texas journalist who covered such issues for two decades) is that too many massive industrial users tried to build fast, and strong-armed the city into selling them its water. That should've never, ever happened. And the state water board should NEVER have allowed it. But Texas always plays it this way, because some of the biggest rains in the world happen there. One good hurricane's worth of rain in that watershed (it's right there in the story) and they can kick the can down the road for another few years. That's what they are counting on.
