The City of Phoenix announces they are preparing for new water restrictions, including charging people who use a lot of water due to a shortage of water Residents will be on water restrictions, meanwhile Arizona has allowed 24 data centers to be built, with roughly 30 more being planned Arizona is experiencing a major data center boom The shortage of water is due to serious cuts to the Colorado river water supply “The City of Phoenix is anticipating serious cuts to our water supply from the Colorado River — We cannot conserve our way out of the problem of this magnitude. The Water Services Department announced by the end of the year, Phoenix will likely enter stage 2 of the plan where they will have to use backup water supplies to meet demand. It may include things like additional conservation education, expansion of water audits, incentives and rebates to ensure efficient use of water” “It could also bring surcharges, meaning if someone uses more water than what they are allocated, they could face additional charges for it.” But Arizona lawmakers are allowing 30-50+ data centers Make it make sense

Jeff Bezos supports Putin by forcing the layoff of 300 Washington Post employees, including its Ukraine 🇺🇦 bureau chief. Godspeed @siobhan_ogrady.

Christmas Eve storm on track - just details of where the strongest atmospheric river tracks the longest duration and also meets the facing terrain - and it has strong winds weatherecho.com/f/strong-slow-…

ICE just conducted a raid by Taco Giro in Tucson - a small mom-and-pop restaurant that has served our community for years. When I presented myself as a Member of Congress asking for more information, I was pushed-aside and pepper sprayed.

A narrow band of stronger atmospheric river looks like it’ll track across the LA basin and possibly hold together down to San Diego Thursday evening into Friday #heavyrain

Does anyone know what happened to Christmas Tree Lane or the Balian Mansion? #EatonFires #Altadena

.@realDonaldTrump, as you prepare to assume the presidency once more, I invite you to come to California. The hundreds of thousands of Americans – displaced from their homes and fearful for the future – deserve to see us all working together in their best interests, not politicizing a human tragedy and spreading disinformation from the sidelines.

Interesting thread about post fire in two different Santa Rosa neighborhoods after a devastating wildfire. Hopefully a reporter will study the long view of Altadena and Pacific Palisades recovery.

The belly tap is remarkable

@SCE SCE tells people to report downed power lines to 911. In Riverside County 911 says call @SCE Jeff Monford told Idyllwild newspaper, "If you see a downed power line, do not touch it or anything in contact with it. Stay at least 100 feet away and call 911" 4 days w/o power.

Our number one priority is safety. Public Safety Power Shutoffs are a safety tool of last resort. It’s frustrating to be without electricity, but our crews work 24/7 to restore power quickly and safely. on.sce.com/3DMxE8W

This is the new start in Inyo County that I posted earlier. Appears to be the #HorseshoeFire flaring up. Multiple agencies on scene including CAL FIRE. #CAfire
