I think the first one has mostly moved thru. The paper said town had 73 inches thru last Wed, with an annual average of 66. I get 10-15% more. I'm still about 40 inches below my record.148,849 acre feet yesterday.

Following a nearby earthquake and the discovery of a seismic fault that underlay the dam site, work on the project was halted for fears that the dam's design would not allow it to survive a major quake on the same fault zone. Although the dam was redesigned and a new proposal submitted by 1980, spiraling costs and limited water storage offered by either design put an end to the project until heavy floods destroyed the cofferdam, sparking brief renewed interest in the dam. The (Republican Arnold's) California State Water Resources Control Board denied water rights for the dam project in 2008 due to lack of implementation. en.wikipedia.org
