California is a dry climate.

Many places are desert-like.

Rain is intermittent. When it comes it can be a deluge, causing major earth movement, mud slides, land slides.

Fire is also a natural occurrence in CA.

Many areas get denuded of vegetation in a fire.

Then the rains come and washes away.

If you are a Cajun-type person the different climate would blow you away.

All that being said, the management in CA are insane, evil criminals.

Flood control dams were erected all over the USA in the 1930s by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Many of the good locations for flood control and water storage are in canyons that were erosion-carved.

Only now, are they discovering many of these canyons correspond to faults and seismic zones.

The agriculture in CA depends not on surface water (streams, rivers) but primarily on ground water pumped up from wells. The ground water level is lowering and the earth is subsiding from so much pumping. Evaporation rate is very high. If water were not stored in reservoirs, agricultural production from CA would be confined to much smaller areas.

Wars have been fought over water in the western US. The water wars continue in the courts with water rights being the major determinant in which places can be settled and inhabited.

This is not a minor, haha, laughing matter as you intimate.

I think people write a tweet, then find it it's a bit too long when they try to post it, then they start editing the tweet by removing spaces, unnecessary words, abbreviating, etc. until it fits the character limit. And each one has their own internal "algorithm" for what is acceptable to remove while retaining understandability. Historians from the future will pore over tweets trying to figure out why certain words were spelled funny or punctuation ill-formed.
