Funny enough, this would be illegal, because it's illegal to gather rainwater, even on your own property.

Southpark told me it would take 22.3 years for a serious scenario to be funny, therefor, I'm really offended.

Well a drought is just a period of below average rainfall. It doesn't mean zero rain ever.

It's interesting that the photo from Feb 2014 shows significantly more snow than the one from Jan 2014.

All of a sudden we don't like dark humor, because the subject matter affects people on reddit.

Its got electrolytes

https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/33ew7i/the_california_umbrella_via_the_new_yorker/cqkhspa/

Those are lakes created by dams and their levels are controlled by the local water municipality or something. A more accurate lake level would be Lake Tahoe. Which is still concerning.

Well good for you

https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/33ew7i/the_california_umbrella_via_the_new_yorker/cqkf80a/

It wouldn't do anything anyway because there's no water to catch, that's what a drought is.

No, they can serve water, but you have to specifically ask

Honestly if done right that's the best kind of humor.
