As you all know (if you dont know yet) I'm a United States citizen. And I live in the state of California. And if you dont know yet, California isn't a great place to be in right now. There's a severe drought going on that's been lasting for about 3 years. And it's SEVERE.
For my fellow Californians or other people who don't think this problem is that serious, here's a link to show how severe it actually is.
It's been going as extreme as certain cities banning carwashes and fining people from doing the ALS bucket challenge.
I've been concerned about this issue for quite a while even before i saw this link while i was lulling around on Facebook. So i've been doing my best to limit my water usage (not to the point where it ruins my hygiene, ugh). But i'm kind of scared for what's to come. Im just hoping really really bad that this winter a lot of rain will come since last winter the rains came very very late.
Any fellow Californians that can ease my fears? An expert meteorologist? Or do you want to just talk about it and discuss about it? After all, this is a Real Life & Personal thread I guess.
If you dont really care about the US or it's current well being, im sorry for wasting your time. It's just that today i got a full glimpse for myself in how this drought is seriously affecting California.
