Here in Reno we need the city planners to watch your video before they keep approving more neighborhoods. It’s been awhile since we were relying on our emergency water storage. I bet we have gained 50,000 people since then. Or more. Lots of people will be shocked the next time we have a severe drought.

Oh boy! As a former city planner myself (in a wet area) I can attest to the fact that planners everywhere should be looking at impacts to water sources. Reno especially is a challenging place in that regard.

You can't see Mt. Whitney from Badwater Basin. The Panamint mountains and Inyo mountains are blocking you.

Reminds me of how the zone where June is the warmest month of the year (much of the US Southwest that gets monsoonal rains later in the summer) is next to the zone to the east (much of Texas) where late July and especially early/mid August is the warmest time of the year. Not in spite of one another, but because of one another (or rather, Texas having August as the warmest month because of the Southwest having June as the warmest month).

America's two great mountain ranges north south positions is the most oddities, because most are east to west or vice versa.

Even it's rivers are flowing north to south, and some like Colorado is emptier in the west, instead like the Mississippi, south in the Gulf of Mexico.
