One spectacular example is the spillway at the Conn Creek Dam at Lake Hennessey in the Vaca Mountains, which was a raging waterfall on Tuesday as the North Bay felt the brunt of the latest storm.
As it has in other recent storm, on Tuesday the spillway overflow was slamming into Conn Creek, creating a massive water plume along with a mist that blanketed a section of Sage Canyon Road next to the lake.
The Lake Hennessey reservoir is currently at 100 percent capacity.
