You're correct, Richard Oliver. The two KHs in this area are small.
The churches in our community have large fellowship halls, ideal for feeding large groups (housing, I imagine, if need be).
The JW Assembly Hall is in Yuba City, which was evacuated.

the emergency spillway, never used before in the 48 years the dam has operated, is eroding.. major confusion and panic occurred when the order went out sunday, late afternoon: this is not a drill!.

Thanks, Landy, for putting up the link to the thread I posted earlier.
Your point is well made, Luther. Thank you for the question you posed re the KHs becoming havens for refugees; individual JW families are helping evacuees.

just been reminiscing about how c/a's have changed since we were young.
i remember when they started friday night in some rented hall , as well as the two weekend days.
saturday morning was a brief session then field ministry (which only a few performed ) and sunday sessions.. in the free time around the venue we just used to hang out socialising and eyeing up the girls.
Ken Richmond appeared at the opening of one of my fave films: BLACK NARCISSUS.

Black Narcissus is a coldly intellectual morality drama tinged with a cynicism which has the effect of casting, as it were, a gratuitous reflection upon those who, regardless of sect, have forsaken worldly pleasures out of sheer religious devotion. This is so because the two dominant characters are basically frustrated women who seek solace in religion after unhappy romances.

Good memories.
A civic auditorium was rented in our town on the California coast. Big trucks came into the parking lot, Friday afternoon, and food prep began at 3:00. We had a hot meal that evening. Cal Eckler was in charge.
Those were truly different times, when I still enjoined being "involved in a world of Theocratic activity." Yes, the expression that we used.

Thanks, Mr. Flipper, for the personal, first-hand comments. They're so much better than the copy and pasted stuff and links that I put up!
Best to you and Mrs. Flipper.

Thanks, GLTirebiter and fellow posters for your thoughts and concern.
GL: The info provided in the link above -- "gizmodo" -- indicates that nearly 70% of US dams are privately owned and, often, avoid strict surveillance. What dams were once categorized as low-hazard structures have become high-hazard dams. They are old and many, many have failed, resulting in loss of life; in some instances, owners have been charged with manslaughter.

As politicians campaign on rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, we’ve mostly been engaged in half-measures that require little sacrifice. As one of his final acts as president, Obama authorized the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act, which allocated $12 billion dollars to a range of projects related to the nation’s water supply. But only a portion of the money is intended to improve the federal government’s high-hazard dams. The Association of State Dam Safety Officials estimates it would take over $57 billion to rehabilitate all of the nation’s dams.
