Rainman
Ivanpah becomes a wet lake
Was woken up this morning at 4.30 am, to the sound of rain on the window. Two hours of pretty good downpour flooded most of the lake, but, all is not as bad as it seems. There area has been exceptionally dry for the last few years and most of this should be absorbed in the next day or two. Some wind is forecast for the weekend, so we are hoping it is going to be dry by Friday.
For now the lake is closed, with the Greenbird marooned on the edge. Hopefully we will be able to get back to it tomorrow, and download the data from the weather station, to see exactly how much rain fell during the night.
As long as no more rain falls, we should still be able to test on the weekend.
Closed due to rain
Richard,
The Atlanta Metropolitan Water Board would like to sponsor you to bring your record effort to northeast Georgia where they have had several years of drought. Your ability to reliably bringing on precipitation by merely setting up your boat has gotten their attention. They must have enough clout to set you up at Hartsfield Airport with runways nearly 2.5 miles long. After that it is off to the horn of Africa!
