So an Earthquake in the middle of a hurricane? Really? WTF, did you run out of locusts??? Couldn't figure out a way to get a big fire going? I mean, seriously So Cal, you're freakin me out. This is weird even for you. This is not cool.

And out of mild curiosity, what does this do to Tulare? That lake that wasn't a lake but is somehow a lake again that just looks like flooded farm land to me.

This is actually not weird at all. Sudden heavy amounts of water grease the skids of the plates and can trigger earthquakes where pressure was already building up. This was the case in the big 1971 earthquake that was preceded by big weather events,
too.

FYI, Tulare was always historically a lake until they decided they needed it as farmland and drained it. I seem to remember some very old film of the lake before they killed it and the millions of migratory birds it supported.

Some of the effects are simply the weight of the water on the plate boundaries.

Weight of water can make a different, but probably not likely in a rain storm as the weight is displaced over a very great area. Reservoirs I've seen have this effect such as when a reservoir suddenly fills up....the many feet of water over one spot
can trigger a small quake...and has. I doubt they place reservoirs directly over large faults such as San Andreas, but that'd be worth a look. I'll also point out my belief this is less of a risky lately as the overall weight on faults has been lifted
in recent years by the droughts lowering the water tables....though this year getting 2 years worth a rain could possibly effect that in areas that raised water tables I guess. I've also noticed that big earthquakes tend to take turns in a clockwise
pattern around the Pacific.

In Greenland, the missing weight of the melting ice is causing the land to rise.

That's true, but not just Greenland. Canada is rising about 1in/yr....similarly, that has caused the plate at the other end to sink 1in/yr down in Florida...and this has been happening for centuries. You don't get this effect in the Southern
Hemisphere, so you can look at photos of the ocean level in an Australian port and see they were the same 150yrs apart.

The Salton Sea is a man made creation caused by water diversion from the Colorado river. It was very popular around the 1960's for skiing etd, but then it started to stink and got farming contamination runoff and way dirty with dead fish and flies. Now
it's mostly deserted. I don't really think much of the Death Valley, but guaranteed, it'll have a lot of flowers there this January. Yosemite and other falls in the sierras will be the best view right now and probably next year with heavier than
normal water falls. Gold panning should be pretty good around the sierras this fall after the big rains and those fires...probably be a lot of gold run off on the banks.

Lithium is found everywhere. The question is in what concentrations that can make it mineable. And, yes, salt beds are a good spot for it and in Nevada there are some areas some are saying are the Saudi Arabia of lihtium including out by Tonopah which
already has some lithium projects to go along with silver/gold projects. But, that's comparatively easy at the moment to find good projects. The real problem is refining capacity which is why Elon Musk wants to build his own lithium refinery.

May be worth noting some african countries now are putting in controls to stop exploitation of their lithium and maybe other critical minerals until they can make sure they maximize their potential, but I don't see that as a problem while they still have
good lithium projects much closer to Tesla factories in the USA.

Love to see a super bloom. I caught a bit of an American Experience the other day on the Francis Dam. It's amazing how much California history is wrapped up in water. Maybe the original sin in southern Cal. I flew into LA a bit over a year ago. I'd
visited once before but first time by air. I saw this weird alpine lake from the air. Not like any alpine lake I've seen before. I didn't realize until that show it was a dam/reservoir. Hollywood probably.

Mullholland is the guy responsible for all those dams and the water getting to LA. There are several of those small reservoirs in the hollywood hills all connected by Mullholland drive, a windy road noted for James Dean's death. Jay Leno would driver
that road on a motorcycle on some sundays....and it goes sorta near the Hollywood sign and right by a bunch of celebrities who may live on either side of those hills. You can still see debris of the ST Francis dam if you go on a hike there.
Mullholland sneakily bought up land near Mono lake and sucked the land dry and piped it to South allowing Los Angeles to grow. Now we also have a couple different pipes connected to the Colorado River we are using to suck it dry. All of CA really
needs to ban lawns. Disney California Adventure used to have a really nice movie about California with Whoopie Goldberg hosting in Character that included a nice section on water and CA history. They conveniently left out the part where the
Japanese guy who had the strawberry fields was "encouraged" to sell out to Disney. They also left out the part where Californians were sold the line that it was a bunch of worthless bean fields that were being given to Vietnamese refugees relocated to
Orange County after the war which is now home to so many poker players and was home to the likes of Scotty Nguyen etc.

Watch the movie Chinatown. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071315/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_chinat

Tells the story of LA stealing our Owens Valley water. (Highway 395 to Bishop and north) I used to dispatch the hydro plants that sent that water on its way. The fight still goes on. Occasionally someone will use dynamite and blow a diversion for two.

Driving on 395 you still see dead trees with red flags on them, to shame LA. We did trick LA on one diversion. When we shut down a power plant for maintenance, 'somebody' slipped a few trout into the creek. When the power plant restarted, we told LA the
las said couldn't have that water anymore because it mysteriously had fish in it.

(And, no, LA doesn't have, "a couple different pipes connected to the Colorado River.")

So LA didn't steal it, YOU stole it.

For the dumbasses out there who think LA doesn't get water from the Colorado river, we get about half our water from it.

The ratio between what one dumbass thinks he knows about everything and what he actually knows is incredible.

Hey didn't do shit. He just claims he has just like he claims every other god damn thing. Probably if we gin up a conversation about a base on the moon, we'll find out he was an astronaut, too.

See? Yet I PROVE what I claim. Jack rOff gets challenged about his made-up shit, and he
runs and hides. He has YET to reply when I bitch slap the little bitch.

Deputy Sheriff, and you Come out short. I have provided everything you need to check my FACTS.

Paul, we should gin up some conversation about mining gold. I'm sure this moron will tell us all about how he's owned several mines and was the VP of exploration and mine manager for Barrick Gold.
