That's fine. They need to fill the reservoirs.

It will be epic. Reservoirs and lakes overflowing. Rivers running high. Aquifers being recharged. Trees not dying. Fewer wildfires, perhaps as well. Like the good old days. There may be a little flooding in some areas, but it'll be fine overall.

Due to their horrid mis-management of land and fire-danger areas this will actually increase the chance of massive wildfires in the future when all of the new growth dries out and they do nothing about it (again).
Not only that, much of the water will be flushed straight out to sea rather than filling reservoirs. They have set themselves up to fail at every step.

Partial truth. New growth takes time, and as of now many of the areas recently ravaged by fire are not in great danger. Mitigations could be applied, the question is will the mismanagement continue?

While this is also partially true, it applies primarily to Southern California, which is heavily urbanized and relies on water imported from the north: --it's a huge state, after all, and there are scores of large reservoirs in Central and NorCal such as Shasta, Oroville, Don Pedro, New Melones, et. al., which were at very low levels as of last season. They will be refilled.

All good points. The one I would argue is that the mismanagement is bound to continue. There are plenty of areas that try to manage properly but various state laws prohibit what is needed and will eventually lead to the same problems again and again.
Plus, They are now focused on a fancy new project to put in a high-speed rail from LA to Vegas. Because.. Reasons.
