I guess there ARE sandbagging the Lakeport dam. I apologize for doubting PBR. (Actually, I though it was the TV station that goofed). However, the lake is still 13" below the 1984 level and 9" below the 1998 level (when they didn't use sandbags). I don't understand their use. Perhaps they are anticipating a large runoff from the hills over the next few days. FYI: As of 10:30, the lake is at 4.74, down a tad from the 7am reading of 4.75 (so it is not rising).

If anyone is going by the dam today, I'd like to find out how high the dam is above the current lake level.
