The state of California is in the grips of a terrible drought — the worst in a century.
As reported by CNN, yesterday, Governor “Moonbeam” Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency for the state, saying it is facing “perhaps the worst drought that California has ever seen since records (began) about 100 years ago.”
Brown made the emergency announcement as a wildfire burned with only 30% containment in 1,700 acres of foothills of Los Angeles County near Glendora. An illegal campfire apparently ignited the wildfire, and fire officials cited drought conditions as contributing to the blaze.
Three men were arrested for the illegal campfire: Jonathan Carl Jerrell, 23; Clifford Eugene Henry Jr., 22; and Steven Robert Aguirre, 21.
Brown is calling for voluntary “20% conservation of our water use” statewide: ”It’s important to wake all Californians to the serious matter of the drought and lack of rain. We are in an unprecedented, very serious situation that people should pause and reflect on how dependent we are on the rain, nature and one other.”
The snowpack in California’s mountains is at 20% of normal levels. The state’s largest water reservoirs are below record lows, and the major waterways, including the Sacramento and the San Joaquin rivers, flow with “significantly reduced” water.
CNN meteorologist Chad Myers says 90% of California is in a severe drought, “This could be a giant fire year coming up.”
I know California is a benighted hyper-leftist depraved state. But there are Godly people and innocent wildlife in California who don’t deserve this suffering.
Please pray for rain — for the sake of the suffering wildlife and parched trees and fauna.
Please pray for God’s mercy.
