Big Bear Releases Water for the First Time in 15 Years

I think we can declare the Southern California drought over:

After a year of record rain and snowfall, officials at Big Bear Lake are being forced to drain the dam for the first time in 15 years.

The lake is so full that winds are cresting water over the 74-foot dam, soaking neighboring businesses.

Last Wednesday, the water level at the lake registered at 72.30 feet -- just one-third of a foot shy of the maximum level.

Most lakeside beaches have been underwater for weeks. Locals have even reported fish swimming in a pond near the Big Bear airport -- which abuts the east end of the lake.

I'm sure global warming has something to do with this since we're told that every change in the weather is caused by global warming.
