The forecast for temperatures in the 60s and possible rainshowers next week around the Tahoe Basin could be heralding the beginning of the feared snow melt after an epic winter in the Sierra.
Officials have warned that the massive snowpack that has piled up in the Sierra Nevada is a dripping time bomb. As it melts, the flooding could triple in size in Tulare County by summer, threatening the surrounding communities and costing billions in losses.
"This is just from the rain," Sealy said of the flooded fields."But when the snow melts, there's nowhere for it to go besides here." "The ground is literally sunk in some places by 10 or 15 feet over the past decade," said Daniel Swain, a UCLA climate scientist."That has literally changed the topography of the historical lakebed. Some places are lower even than they were the last time there was a big flood event."
Since there was no massive snowpack to worry about in '83 and the town was 10 feet higher, he's among the town's seniors who worry this time could be much worse.
