The real problem is the DWR filled the lakes too fast and too full. Lake Shasta is also way too full for this time of year The Sacramento River is at flood stage even after days of no rain. I drove past it yesterday and it's as high as I've ever seen it in Redding. At Hamilton City the Sac is only 4 to 6 feet from overflowing the levee.

The DWR phooked up BIG TIME.

This near catastrophe never should have happened.

BTW cross, you've been nailing it.
