A microburst hit our lake a few years ago. We went out boating and left floats out chairs, etc. A bad storm.came through. About 1 mile down the.lake a roof got blown off a house. Our floats and folding chairs did not.move an inch.

Were the benefits to Powell apparent?
Even though I wasn't quoted, yes it raised Powell almost 18', But has since lost about 7'. On average Powell is losing 1-2 tenths a day. I think their hoping it won't reach this years low before winter hits.

Wind just showed up!

F me. Daughter is now scared to sleep in trailer. She thinks a tree branch is going to fall on trailer. Guess I will be talking with Debbie tomorrow about that

The eucalyptus trees are big and make a mess
They belong on freeways Not mobile home parks
They're notoriously shallow rooted and fall often in strong winds. Fortunately in Havasu the ground is not saturated and soft.

WOW!!!!! Look at the lightning strikes, how accurate do you think it is?

Strikes within x miles.
My daughter took pics from the golf cart at the Islander last night
