Yep these areas were not built for so many people, especially during a mega drought which could continue on for decades more. Now if we were getting pre-2000 rains it wouldn't be as big a deal but as long as the mega drought continues it will only get worse. We'll have to see how this oncoming winter is because if we continue getting extremely wet winters often it could be a sign that the mega drought is finally over. Some of them do end around this time frame after 25 years so it's possible.
