South Shore Lake Tahoe local Sid Loomis continues her work with the Undersea Voyager Project in Catalina on September 17. The 16-year-old was part of the original crew that brought a submersible to Lake Tahoe in May of 2009 to study Lake Tahoe and Fallen Leaf, as well as projects in Catalina and Bodega Bay in 2010.
On Saturday, Sept. 17 team leader Scott Cassell will scuba dive from Catalina to Cabrillo Aquarium near Long Beach for a study on sharks.
Update 6:05 p.m.: Moderate to heavy rainfall has been reported in isolated areas around South Lake Tahoe and Meyers, along with several lightning strikes. Lightning likely caused one spot fire high in the trees south of the intersection of Highway 50 and 89 in Meyers. It appeared, however, that heavy rain doused the flames.
Meanwhile, a flash flood watch remains in effect until 11 tonight for portions of California and Western Nevada including the greater Lake Tahoe area, Carson City and Reno.
