I ran over to Isle View, Collins Marine, and the launch at the foot of Sheridan to take some pictures on my lunch. Looks like a real mess for people with docks along the river. ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1150.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1150.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1151.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1151.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1152.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1152.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1154.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1154.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1155.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1155.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1159.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1159.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1161.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1161.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1162.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1162.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1165.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1165.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1167.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1167.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1168.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1168.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1169.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1169.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1174.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1174.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1176.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1176.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1177.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1177.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1178.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1178.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1179.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1179.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1180.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1180.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1181.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1181.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1183.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1183.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1186.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1186.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1187.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1187.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1189.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1189.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1190.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1190.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1192.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_1192.jpg) ---

I wasn’t sure what to expect when i went inside. The gates are fully open. I didn’t see any ice inside (actually i saw a basketball and tennis ball floating around) the water level is a lot higher and much slower then normal. A problem only if the ice ends up blocking flow into the intakes all together. Even then, there’s about a 1 week reserve currently in the reservoir. The biggest concern is damage due to the ice if it reaches the reservoir pumps. **EDIT: I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express lastnight.** ---

^ You work there I take it? I’m assuming the general public can’t just walk inside that intake. And I’m not sure why I forgot about the giant reservior. I was thinking the intake fed the turbines directly. :bloated: ---
