This phenomena is becoming part of the weather in the northern tier of states. It is becoming more frequent.
Four tornadoes in Long Island in the middle of November. What a mess this is.
The Northwest USA, include California in that, and Canada are getting these enormous dumps of water. California is probably getting some of it's required needs, but, not enough to end the drought. Yet. Above is the current drought map for the USA.
If this PATTERN doesn't end soon, there are going to be very difficult circumstances for these people. They are isolated at this point and have damage to their property and homes, but, if this pattern continues there are going to be real problems with flooding and sustained high levels of water.
The governors have to be ready to establish communities on empty military bases where shops might exist where businesses can be opened with current displaced business owners. It could get that bad. People won't have land to live on and it is quesitonable to the extent, even after flood waters recede, what the land and civilization looks like and how viable it is.
