We do have some concerns with the weather pattern coming in. With the river rising, the water won't have anywhere to go but through those neighborhoods.

They're being told to be ready to evacuate should the river start to rise.

Weather conditions played a major role in the lake's distribution of walleye in 2005. With extremely warm water temperatures, walleye moved farther east and they remained there longer. If water temperatures remain cool in 2006, we should have a phenomenal walleye fishery in the west and central basins of Lake Erie.

The warming water temperature has moved them out of the deep river channel. But after the cold weather moves in this weekend I'm betting they'll move back to the rivers.

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time?" That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.

Today that was the message — think about getting your valuables out and renting a U-Haul. Expect the worst.
