This is a major bummer. My heart and best wishes go out to anyone
affected by this disaster. I am, however, convinced that these events
are simple plumbing problems that could be solved if we wanted to.
There's always too much water in some places and not enough water in
others. The farmers in about 25 counties east of here could sure use
some of that water. We need a CCC, a real leader, to establish
irrigation and flood control that works.

woo-hoo!!! I haven't thought about your transcontinental
piping and pumping system idea for a while!!

Still seems pretty fundamental and doable to me.

Uh huh.

You have a plan to move tens of *trillions* of cubic feet of rainfall out of a
roughly 150,000 square mile area comprised of hundreds of watersheds *before*
it all translates into the widespread flooding that we've been seeing?

/daytripper (I think Tom has the right approach on your solution ;-)
