It is hot and humid here also but has cooled down into the 80s for a day or so and in the mornings I have to wear a light jacket. What a change from the triple digit humid weather to low 80s and no humidity. But it is only supposed to last two more days.
Steve,
Once they start letting the water out the lakes do go down faster as the lower they get the less water they have to draw from. Once they get all of the water out of the canyons at Shasta Lake, the Main lake goes down fast.
This is one of the old railroad tunnels that was out of the water last Summer when the lake was at its lowest level since it was first filled. Normally this end of the tunnel is close to 100 feet under the water.
