From 1999 to 2006, I lived in Butte County, between Oroville and Berry 
Creek. To get from Oroville to home, I needed to cross a roughly 1 mile 
long suspension bridge over the so-called "Middle Fork" of the Feather 
River - upstream from the Oroville dam. When I was there, all but about 
a hundred feet or so of the bridge was over water for most of the year. 
Usually the water was only about 30 feet or so below the bridge deck.

Recently (tail end of february or so) I saw an article about how bad the 
California drought is. Accompanying the article was an aerial photo 
showing that bridge I used to cross. The only visible water in the 
picture was what appeared to be about a 10, maybe 20 foot wide creek 
almost centered under the bridge. *WAY* under the bridge. Which tells me 
Lake Oroville has to be all but *GONE*.
