Its normal flow is 50 cfs. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the story.Buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773392812050013355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-22320798046478018992012-04-25T16:55:23.793-07:002012-04-25T16:55:23.793-07:00Speaking of the subject, I just did a little storm...Speaking of the subject, I just did a little storm chasing this afternoon. <br /><br />There was an awesome squall that rolled thru Yakima around 4pm. It had a signature wall cloud. I dunno know what its called. Ive only seen pictures. Layered cloud band out in front. <br /><br />Brought traffic on highway 12 to a halt. Never seen that. So two things Ive never seen before.smokejumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358322512081660205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-69703362629533327192012-04-25T09:19:18.072-07:002012-04-25T09:19:18.072-07:00Castlegar (in southeast BC) had >2cm hail late ...Castlegar (in southeast BC) had >2cm hail late yesterday. Since verification began in 2000, it was the first report of a severe thunderstorm in BC during the month of April.<br /><br />By the way, we cancelled our golf trip to Bellingham yesterday because of what the radar was showing.
