I get it,

Interesting, but I can't get over the frequency with which these stories lack simple, factual info, such as:

What city? What dam? City Manager's name?

Well...

I live near a dam, it's a retirement community, and the National Guard once a year brings in tanks, personnel and they practice terrorist manuevers. This is nothing new, all federal/state have these manuevers regularly.

Al-d,

Thanks for the totally on-topic, non-denominational post...I sincerely appreciate that.

This is another interesting bit to mix into the "overheard at..." category. Thanks for supplying some additional info.

Who cares if the FBI knows where you live? Like what the fuck have you done wrong? I think there's just too much paranoia on this forum.

i get it,

I could understand some concern about possible terrorist activity blowing up the dam, or dumping poison into the dam if it's also used for drinking purposes. But why on earth would there be concerns about riots? Why would the military want to move the people out of that forlorn town. I drove through there a month or so ago, on my way to Tucson, and it seems pretty remote to me.

after I read your post,I remember reading last night about dangers to dams from Dr.Paula Gordon.I hope you don't mind,I started a new thread.The head line is potential problems with dams.There is some good information on it.Check it out.

I'm glad to hear your town is taking this seriously,that is a definite plus.
