Sungold: We are going to get another round of storms again, next week?

Sungold: I have hear this lady speak several times, and read her book. It is amazing.

Sungold: This lady needs a break, care-giving is not pleasant, and having to do multiple times can take a toll.

Sungold: Sorry, I cannot recall her name.

ProducerBadBob: We get a break over the weekend and then another storm system moves in Wednesday.

Sungold: Debbie Sprague, just remembered

ProducerBadBob: =) was going to have trish repeat it for everyone

ProducerBadBob: Book "A Stranger In My Bed"

Sungold: Wow, actually it is looking a bit scary, hoping the controlling dam agencies can handle all the water.

ProducerBadBob: Shasta is holding back today but over the weekend will release a lot to make more room

Sungold: And we don;t get a hole in it like Oroville did.

Sungold: Twenty feet from the top is not much room, and it is filling up quickly.

ProducerBadBob: The section of Oroville where the concrete spillway failed is pretty thick. And there is an emergency spillway over by the boat ramp.

Sungold: It is weird how the storms seem to be on a schedule, rolling in mid-week, most of the rain is a night, then we get a two day break and a repeat follows

Sungold: I have not been on that lake.

SYSTEM: Guest just signed off.

ProducerBadBob: Oroville is a nice lake, great fishing and lots of out of the way coves to visit. Second largest after Shasta.

ProducerBadBob: The dam is even taller than Shasta, but it's earthfill rather than concrete arch design. The hole in the spillway, while very alarming looking, poses no immediate threat of a catastrophic fail.

Sungold: That is what I keep hearing on TV news. Time to get going here, stay out of puddles

ProducerBadBob: hug
