Think of the billions of dollars that moonbeam gave to illegals - money that should have been spent on flood prevention.

Jerry Brown requests presidential disaster declaration for January storms

feb 10m 2016 Gov. Jerry Brown has asked President Donald Trump to declare a major disaster for the state because of damage caused by powerful storms last month, with Friday’s request an initial step in seeking federal aid.

Brown’s letter to Trump cites an “atmospheric river storm system” that unleashed days of “relentless heavy precipitation” and high winds beginning Jan. 3, causing flash floods, power outages and damage to public works.

“The impacts associated with this series of storms were substantial and widespread, devastating much of California,” the letter reads. The storms, it said, contributed to eight deaths in seven counties.

The storms prompted Brown to declare a state of emergency in 49 counties Jan. 23. Friday, the governor added three counties to last month’s declaration: Amador, Mono and Riverside.

In Friday’s letter, Brown said years of years of drought had left the ground unable to absorb “massive amounts of rainfall in such a short period of time.” The letter estimates that public assistance expenditures will exceed $162.3 million.
 
I think Gov Brown knows his gov is going to lose Fed funds over the sanctuary issue and is trying to replace some of the shortfall. 162 million is a sum CA should be able to handle on its own if Nashville can get by on its own after being drowned and suffering billions in damages.
