- There was a discussion of problems with flooding in New Orleans
- Bill discussed how Folsom Dam water levels became critical several years ago and almost had to do a MAJOR water release.. it would have flooded Sacramento up to 20 feet deep.
- In just a couple of hours.. there could be 20 feet of water in the
pocket area of sac.
Antennas at fire stations:
the Cortland Antenna has antenna and dual bander
Capay valley is OK
Woodland OK
Darrin would like everyone to have a few 10 foot sections of aluminum tubing
and an antenna in trucks
