California Drought Solved By Storms, Week-Long Storms Cause More Problems, Flooding And Mudslides Occur In California

California drought problem is yet to be solved despite the flooding that is currently occurring in the state. In fact, there's another storm set to attack the state this week. Could this finally solve the drought that has plagued California for years?

"It's important to note that California's drought, while extreme, is not an uncommon occurrence for the state," says Richard Seager from Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory about the California drought, adding, "In fact, multiyear droughts appear regularly in the state's climate record, and it's a safe bet that a similar event will happen again."

However, the reported "biggest storm" that hit Northern California has caused mudslides and flooding. This has somehow solved the California drought that has plagued the state for almost 1,200 years. Dec. storms will reportedly continue on until the end of the week.

The storm is set to deliver gallons of water per square mile potentially solving the California drought. Western Weather Expert from AccuWeather.com, Ken Clark, says the storm is going to be "such a soaking rain."

While the storms inadvertently solved the California drought, it brings other problems to the forefront. More than millions will suffer from flooding in areas with poor drainage system. Poor visibility along major routes such as the Interstate-5 will most likely be expected due to the raging storm.

In recent burn areas of the California drought, mudslides should be expected. Rock slides and flooding could also occur. In the Sierra Nevada, snow levels would drop below the Donner Pass in a measure of 7,200 feet. Such conditions of snow falling at high inches per hour could lead to whiteout.

Flight delays should also be expected as strong gusts of wind will hit those along the coast and areas around mountains and hills. Power outages would also occur in central California and the western Washington state. Though the storm may have solved the California drought, it obviously brings about more damage.
