What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?

Overflowing reservoirs, overflowing rivers, mud slides and a lot of water flowing to the sea cause of all the concrete

If I calculated it right, it would raise the Salton Sea's 376 square miles by 125 feet. It all has to fall there though.

What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to? = They can wash their cars again!

One hell of a lot of water going down river.

It's generally agreed, even by the mail man that this is probably the biggest storm, at least in So. Cal, since around 1997-98. This is the second time in 30 years that the 4" drain was overwhelmed to the point I'm running an Aux pump.

Hopefully it IS a drought buster. Just think what this would have been like during an ElNino year..

Unless you're someone very special, those numbers mean nothing at all, just too immense to even grasp the concept of that much water.
