I'm sure I answered this one recently, but I'll send another answer
just in case this question is new.  I see that the date is old on
it though.

H20 are river gauges.  I'm the one generating those, and the quakes,
and some of fires.  Other firenet members are running
scripts/programs to generate the rest.

7.41gh = 7.41 feet gauge height.
149cfs = 149 cubic feet per second past the gauge.

Check firenet.us or look up wa6oft on google and go to his web
pages.  I believe there are descriptions of the firenet objects
there somewhere.
