8-11-01: The choppers they are sending in to get water now are so large and have so much downdraft I can't even get a picture safely.   I can't believe this.   Count the windows on the yellow chopper and you'll get some idea of the size.   Then, imagine it hovering about 40 feet above your house!   This is amazing to watch.   The big yellow one scoops up 500 gallons per swipe.   We are pumping in 75GPM, and the choppers are hitting us every 5 minutes.
