ROFLMAO!!! I heard about this yesterday and it gave me a giggle, I'm not sure how many of us actually have the time to sit and watch the water rise Still, I'm sure some people will enjoy it.
Could just see someone brainstorming that idea at a meeting.......now stay with me guys, how about putting a webcam at the dam so people can actually SEE what that water level is doing there, you know people will be able to really SEE the water and what it's doing, and we will give it a cooool name; The Thompson Dam Cam. Must have been laughed out of the office at first.
