Snow + Rain = Flooding in Southern California

Southern California has been hit with a lot of rain and snow, to the point where folks have been snowbound in part of the southern range of the Sierras for more than a week. And because they are Californians, and prepping is something only Republicans in Idaho do, they were unprepared. For snow in the California mountains

For example: Large 'HELP US!!' message spotted in SoCal snow as some residents grow desperate

Residents in the Southern California are pleading for more help as some remain in an increasingly desperate situation after a massive snowstorm overwhelmed the area.

They're distressed. "Daddy government promised to save me, but that hasn't happened." No shit. Your first mistake was assuming that the government would do anything right. Your second mistake was not having food, medicine, etc. for weeks and months at a time. "But only crazy preppers do that, right?" Well, if you had weeks of food, you wouldn't be writing "Help Us" in the snow.

If they exact same things happens again next year, the same people will be asking, Why isn't the government taking care of me?" Because it isn't their job to take care of themselves. That is someone else's job.

And really the government is doing some stuff. Juan Browne of the Blancoliro YouTube channel has some updates on the infrastructure of Southern California. And lack thereof. Actally the last part of the video is about improvements being made to the infrastructe to make several dams in the area safer than they were 10 years ago. (Oroville's near-disaster did have some impact, it seems.)
