"Total reservoir storage increased by 2,553 acre feet in the past 24 hours."
Wow, 2,553 acres covered by a foot of water! How does that compare to ... Rhode Island?! That's 0.3% the area of Rhode Island. OK, not interesting. How does that compare to San Francisco? That's 1.7% of San Francisco -- wait, what?
San Francisco has 15% the area of Rhode Island?
I don't think i have any sense of area scale at all.
Also, i cease to be impressed by how much water we've accumulated.
