Fatal Accident Reported Friday Afternoon
A fatal accident occurred Friday afternoon just
after one pm on Hwy 88 near Toyon Rd. The accident closed that roadway for several hours
causing motorists to detour. According to witnesses on scene the accident
occurred just West of Smalley's Sales and service when a female driver
traveling westbound, in a green Buick sedan, lost control on a long sweeping
corner. As a result the
Buick spun into the path of a Ford pickup truck with two male occupants that
were headed east up Hwy 88. The result
was devastating. The sedan was cut into
3 pieces and the truck was pushed back around 100 feet. The two males
were taken to the hospital via American Legion Ambulance. The female driver of
the Buick was declared dead at the scene. This accident is under investigation
by the CHP.

Cloud Seeding
Even with the nearly two
inches of rain we received over the weekend, more falling some areas of the
state, California will still need about double its normal precipitation for the
rest of the winter and spring to catch up with a normal year, said Department
of Water Resources hydrologist Maury Roos. And that brings up discussions of cloud
seeding. When conditions
are right cloud seeding across California can bolster the state's runoff by
perhaps 3 percent to 4 percent. That could be important this year, with
the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada only at about 40 percent of normal. "When
you get into a dry year, every drop is valuable," hydrologist Roos said.
