The water level at Carvin's Cove is currently 25 point 9 feet below the spillway and is dropping at least a tenth of a foot each day.

Rain could solve more problems than the drought.
The forest fire in the James River Face Wilderness in Rockbridge County is still burning strong.
In fact, it doubled in size in just one day.
Lightning started the fire nearly two weeks ago in the Devil's Marbleyard.
Since then the blaze has consumed more than 11-hundred acres of wilderness.
As Justin McLeod tells us, it could take several more weeks to put out.

They say that Lindh cannot get a fair trial so close to the Pentagon.
The fairness question is among several constitutional issues that Lindh's attorneys are raising.
The U-S military captured Lindh in Afghanistan back in January.
He's charged with aiding the Taliban and conspiring to kill Americans.
But Lindh's attorneys say he was just a soldier fighting the Northern Alliance.
They claim he never fought Americans.

they couldn't get out.//
STANDUP: Right across the street from the watergate, here on the 7th
floor of this building was the surveillance command center. That night
the burglars' look out stood here, watching the police
T: So would you ever have imagined just walking into that building
that you would be unraveling.. a presidency?
JB: No.. sure didn't ... just thought we were going to do a normal
arrest, lock up some hooligans who were ransacking an office.
AT THE TIME, NOBODY COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT THE BUNGLED BREAK-IN WOULD
LEAD TO THE DOWNFALL OF A PRESIDENT ... BUT SOME THOUGHT THERE WAS MORE
TO THE STORY.
J: they had several cameras, they had probably 90 rolls of film//
(b-roll of evidence) It was written all over it that it was not a
typical burglary

T: Why is there still such a fascination with Deep Throat?
R: Well, um, I think that people like conspiracies, and this sort of
creates a conspiratorial atmosphere about the whole Watergate matter..
that it somehow might have all originated from one source, and we still
don't know who he is, and of course he has this sexy name

Mickelson got to within two shots at two under par, thanks to birdies at eleven and twelve.
Then rain forced the suspension of play for nearly 45 minutes.
Tiger didn't show any ill effects of the interruption.
At thirteen, he gives it a great roll but comes up just short on the eagle try.
A tap in birdie got him to 5-under.
Tiger had it under control at 18.
The approach is a safe play to the middle of the green.
Despite making bogey on two of the final three holes, Tiger Woods wins his 8th major and 2nd U.S. Open by three shots.
