Didn't know that. In that case... Cali can suck it.

it is in a drought, but the photos dont necessarily show reality. They didnt have any snowfall this year, which is the main cause for this, besides the human element.
That lake rose 70ft in less than a month in March this year

It's worse in parts of central TX. There's one lake near San Antonio that I saw pictures of that was near full like 4-5 years ago that is literally dry now. It's bad. The rivers are way way down too from what I've heard to where you can barely float them in some parts

Medina, i think.
my hometown lake was at 15% and about dead and then we had 20 inches in 2 days and it filled it up all the way to where they had to open the dam.

2013 saw the least rainfall in CA since it became a state.
2014 is worse.
The area has had mega draughts that lasted hundreds of years, it's quite possible that can happen again.

Buchanan, isn't doing any better. It's been like this for the last few years, since 2011.
The fishing is still pretty decent though.
