There are two lakes near me that are at less that 5% capacity. One of them is less than 1% full.

I was very surprised to see moisture this morning. I had forgotten what it looked like. Of course I had left my "paint booth" (a canvas drop cloth hung from a line) out overnight, not realizing it might rain, and it is totally soaked! But it should dry out just fine, and it's a small price to pay for desperately needed rain. Does anyone know if it rained at all in the Snow Ranch area? Last year we had so many canceled launches due to the drought...
Wouldn’t a “Lake” that is only 1% full qualify as a stream?
Or maybe a hog waddle.
Maybe this means that SARG can find a nice, green launch site here soon!

According to the radar, they got some in Farmington. But it won't do any good at all, since the first launch of the season isn't scheduled until November. We need to get some good consistent rain next month.
Guys, have you ever seen the movie "Chinatown" with Faye Dunaway and Jack Nickelson? It's all about the Californian water table and droughts, and how the state moved to "steal" the water from the Owens valley. it's worth a critical watch again in light of the dry lakebed situation you face!
Now THAT is funny! It also explains the 50%off coupon for repellant at my local drug store-wtf???I think there's barely enough water there to breed mosquitoes.
Oh yeah... that wet stuff... Take some from NC. A few weeks ago, 1 hour north of where I live got 9 inches of rain in a matter of hours.
I know the forecasters are hedging their bets about an El Niño this year, but the warm water already showed up. There's an unbelievable number of tuna off the coast here! Now it just needs to work its magic... Fingers crossed for more rain soon
