Somebody needs to convince US that Mother Nature is headed for a breakdown. She already knows.

There is an official proposal to eliminate Glen Canyon Dam (as of yesterday) in a water saving measure. Not to remove it, at least not yet. Just open the bottom valves (which were installed to help with the health of the Grand Canyon) and let the river flow. It would save enough water for 50,000 homes in the first year. Of course, that would be offset by shorting the electric grid by about 100,000 homes. The current water level is it's lowest since the dam was completed. City of Paige, Arizona has been officially put on notice that they might lose their water supply which is the pool behind GC dam. Whether they open the valves or not.

California has been put on notice via a peer reviewed paper that says they are quite overdue for a mega flood event (a 100 year event which last happened in 1862) that could cause 1 Trillion dollars in damage.

I have more evidence. Even a photograph of a potential campsite I checked out in NorCal this year.

I ended up finding a place, but this would have made a great 'dispersal camping' site if not for the obvious drawbacks.
