I thought some of you might find this interesting, but especially our friend Jacob! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Palo_Alto"SS Palo Alto was a concrete ship built as a tanker at the end of World War I. Completed too late to see war service, she was mothballed until 1929, when she was intentionally grounded off Seacliff State Beach in the Monterey Bay, becoming part of a pleasure pier entertainment complex. Palo Alto was damaged by the sea, leading her to be stripped and used only as a fishing pier. Subsequent decades have seen her be further broken by the sea, but large sections of her wreck remain somewhat intact."JB

This is where we met up with Terry a while back to dive with the salmon...

JB,
This looks like overflow from the completely full reservoir. Is that correct?

John, yes, that is overflow!
Yesterday was pretty miserable; cold, very strong winds and lots of rain: we lost power for two hours yesterday, which was doable, considering all things.
Check this segment out:
At the end they mention 70 and 80-Mph gusts.
