| Dramatic new images show parched Lake Oroville transformed by California storms: Atmospheric rivers dumped trillions of gallons of rain on the state, leading to flooding - but also boosting drought-strapped reservoirs |

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
Lake Oroville, one of the main reservoirs that contributes to California's water supply, is fuller after trillions of gallons of rain saturated the state last month. The lake was at 68 percent of its capacity on Friday — up from 28 percent just two months prior, according to state data. Water levels had fallen to such perilous lows that in 2021 officials closed the reservoir's hydroelectric power plant for the first time since 1967. |
