Thanks for parsing and summarizing. A good update for those of us, who just want a quick summary of what’s happening and a review of the issues/problems. The big thread will become an excellent record of the history, issues in the past and issues now re what not to do.

Don’t know how much rain the catchment area of the lake got yesterday. The northbay got hammered with 1.5 to 3 inches yesterday with most coming down in a short time after 1 pm.

More rain coming early next week.
