The local ranger gets his
sign. AS they are bringing the remains ashore, he says you can not do
that.
You do not have a permit to remove the boat.

Un-friggin-believable!

I spent a week at New Melones last summer... beautiful lake.

That sucks about your friends boat. I probably saw it, but there were a
lot of them.

Low transom boaters bewa

High winds! Talked to my buddy today. He had a houseboat at New Melones
Lake. Was a nice boat until Saturday. Something happened and either the
buoys got tangled or one broke loose and prevented his boat from
swinging
with the wind. The wind hit it from the side and flipped the boat. This
is a 60' house boat. The house broke off the pontoons and the toons
ended up flipping. Took a crane to recover the boat. The local ranger
gets his sign. AS they are bringing the remains ashore, he says you can
not do that. You do not have a permit to remove the boat. A permit is
required everytime you remove or return the houseboat to the water. At
least his superior told him, forget it. Is an emergency and the
paperwork would be taken care of later. Now to see how much State Farm
pays off.

Was the one that made the local front page he said.

Says trees fell on homes in Twain Harte. My in-laws have a place
there, right on the edge of town.

Trees fell on homes and cars everywhere. *Going in to my mom's there was a
tree across 2 cars in the shopping center by the freeway leaving town, and
they had the cross street by mom's blocked off and you could hear the
chainsaws running. *Mom's survived the winds, but had a major leak in the
dining room. *Took out some of the plaster. *Was bad install of a gutter a
couple years ago when they did the roof. *Has been wooden gutters and they
put a metal one in and ran it into the stucco where the wooden one had ended
with a wooden plug at the end. *They just put some tar sealer over the end
cap. *My brother and I cut off part of the gutter today and stucco filled
the hole. *Is a 1908 Georgian. *So we get a lot of experience on this old
house.- Hide quoted text -

Is she in Oakland, or where? The in-laws in Pleasant Hill faired
pretty well, but my brother in law in Walnut Creek had a small tree
down.
