A sad reminder that 7 crew died during re-entry:

The lake is down nearly 10 feet in the current drought.

The shores around here (lake superior) were down that low ( and lower) last summer (that winter we got almsot no snow, even out in the boonies, so there was literaly NO run off at all).

I hope they learned not to seed the clouds anymore
