TCC_News crjennyhill I think that you could have updated the community with more transparency regarding to the dam release. I have family and friends in and around the Ross River that were not aware of the dam limitations. This resulted in panicked evacuations late today. crjennyhill Well, you messed up. Hopefully you're honest enough to admit it to yourself! crjennyhill When will you dopes remember that the dam has to be flood control dam? Duuuh. Your fault it flooded Toensville!
