Meanwhile, one reservoir in Santa Barbara County

  Meanwhile, one reservoir in Santa Barbara County  Lake Cachuma, which was less than one-third full two months ago, has overspilled for the first time in decades. Santa Barbara is now considered to be largely out of the drought for the first time since 2021, with only 7 percent of the county classed as being under "moderate drought." However, while the intensity of the drought has decreased across most of the state, a third of California is still considered to be under "severe drought" conditions. Further rainfall over a sustained period will be required to completely eliminated these conditions. Do you have a tip on a science story that Newsweek should be covering ? Do you have a question about drought?

  Her Kia seat motor started smoking. What should she do with the leased vehicle? Megan Avitto was driving to work on the Garden State Parkway on Dec. 13 when she said she noticed  a burning smell inside her car and smoke coming from under the driver’s seat. She pulled over and turned off the engine of her leased 2021 Kia Telluride , but the smoking and the burning smell continued, she said.
