Here in the Tri-Cities the river seems to be down a couple feet but I noticed they haven’t opened the kids’ swim areas for the Fourth (way too much current).

Bonneville Power has been playing merry hell down here with all of the wind turbines. When the river is running high, they cannot dump water, and when a big storm blows in with lots of rain and high wind, Bonneville has been forced to switch the wind turbines off so they don’t fry the transmission lines. Way too much uncontrolled excess power with no place to go is a big problem right now....
