Eighteen trillion gallons of water have fallen in California in February, according to the National Weather Service. And the month isn't over yet.

"Let me put this into perspective, "said Nicco. "Eighteen trillion gallons of water is equivalent to 27 million Olympic-sized pools or 45 percent the total volume of Lake Tahoe."

"If you weighed all that water it would come out to 150 trillion pounds of water. That's a lot of weight," said Nicco.
