(Vid. Inc.)The devastating consequences of California’s severe drought

Greetings,

This terrific drought not devastating California will have a boomerang effect on the already struggling American economy. California is where nearly 50% of America’s produce and veggies come from. This means higher prices or more inflation at the markets because of scarcity.

If this is not a sign of the manifestation of divine judgment I don’t know what is. She is succumbing to these forces which are baring down heavy on her back. I say….”The great dreadful days of the Lord have now come to America — the land and people who worship evil and indecency. Robbery, murder, rape, famine and deceit are the order of the day in America.

If there is anything like a God of Righteousness — if there is anything like a God of Truth– should not He raise himself up and take His place and put an end to such evil as is now going on in America?”–Chp.34(tfoa)

A severe drought in the US state of California continues to cripple America’s most populous state, drying out over 400,000 acres of farmland and costing the state billions of dollars, a Press TV report shows.

California is in the third year of its worst drought since the 1970s and the conditions have forced farms to abandon hundreds of thousands of acres of farmlands this year, Press TV correspondent Ross Frasier reports from Los Angeles.

The California drought will cost the state $2.2 billion and put some 17,000 agricultural workers out of a job this year, according to a recent report by the University of California, Davis.

Eric Boldt of the National Weather Service says three of the driest years on record have left the state’s farmers with few alternatives. California provides more than half of the nation’s fruits, nuts and vegetables. That means if California’s produce goes down, then food prices everywhere else go up.

To help save water for crops, the state has decided to start fining people who waste water. People will have to pay up to $500 a day for using too much water when they wash their car or water their lawn. The new mandatory restrictions come as water usage actually rose during the past few months, despite pleas from lawmakers to cut back.

The report from University of California Davis also predicts that the state will lose more than 17,000 farm jobs. Researchers say even if California gets significant rainfall in the next few months, the drought will likely last until at least 2015.

According to new data by the National Weather Service, more than 80 percent of California is now in an extreme drought. The National Weather Service’s Drought Monitor Update for July 15 shows 81 percent of California in category of extreme drought or worse, up from 78 percent in June. Three months ago in April, it was 68 percent.
