JQP RE: <<The Northwest drought has to end. They need a massive amount of rain, as in 40 days and 40 nights. Nothing short of that will suffice.>> Well why didn't you say so sooner? Give us a week. To all of you recalcitrants who are greedily hanging onto your keg. I want some at 10.01. Are you listening? Ed

maps.yahoo.com As you can see, this is a view of the west entrance to Yellowstone park at West Yellowstone as well as the northern entrance at Gardiner, Mt. The Yellowstone River flows out of the park to the Missouri River along 540. In recorded history, the flow of the river is the lowest it has ever been. billingsgazette.com The Gallatin River flows along Highway 191. The Madison River flows along Highway 287. These two rivers merge with the Jefferson at Three Forks, Mt. to form the headwaters of the Missouri River. I can think of 6 Hydroelectric dams on the Missouri before it flows into the Mississippi. Five of these dams are in Montana. They are at 75-year historical lows. South of West Yellowstone is Island Park. Very close to there is the source of the Snake River. It doesn't get any better, as you know, when the drainage is to the Pacific. Hit the Zoom Out button until you see the Pacific Ocean. See the hundreds of small farmers and ranchers that don't live in the great state of California. Thousands of rural communities have much larger energy bills that they are paying at this time. Can you see the enormous pumps that will be turned off in southern Idaho because Idaho power won't be able to supply the power. These lands will go dry without irrigation provided by these pumps. Every one of these dams is a source of irrigation water. Without high water levels this is another done deal. Hey, this is a hell of a lot more then California and rolling power outages in LA or San Jose. This deal is going to ruin thousands of small businessmen, farmers and ranchers in the north and intermountain west. I sure hope it snows a lot in the Rockies. Sahara (like in real dry)
