Ignore (EOM)

Ron,
That is what they told us and in just over a year we were flooding cities. The rains started late 06 here after a 5 year drought and they didn't stop all year 07. Initial flash flooding from dry ground, but then after a few months, the lakes kept rising. By mid year dams were opening to let water out, then they were open fully for months, yet the rains kept coming. Then any low area (underpasses, etc...) would begin to flood every time there was a rain. City engineers were really worried by the time 08 came around. We have not heard the word water restriction since. We still have to keep letting water out to go down stream about every month just to keep below flood levels. You may get something similar as well. In 07, I don't know how much rain we got, but there was not any extended dry spell I can remember. I remember having BBQs in the garage.

Joe,

They are letting water out of the lake at a higher level now, but they have to be careful. If they let to much out and we don't get a lot more rain then they won't be much better off than last year. It is supposed to be partly cloudy today and rain again tomorrow.
