Joe,
We need rain worse than you can imagine. That mini heat wave we had has the snow pack way below normal now and the lake is really getting low. And we still have the real heat ahead of us, and they are saying this is going to be a long and really hot Summer. We had over a week of 118 plus days last summer so I really dread this one if they are correct. Also for some reason the past few years we are having more humidity up here than in the past. We used to have really hot summers, 120+, but it was a dry heat more like Arizona. Now some of the 118 degree days with the humidity had a heat index of 128 last Summer. And we also have a problem with enough power as several of the businesses in Redding had to shut down due to lack of power on the really hot days. If the lake gets so low they have to shut off another generator, things are going to be bad all over.
