Reports from locals indicate that the river is flowing quite fast and carrying some rather astonishingly large trees. One friend near the river has evacuated, others are keeping an eye out on the levels. Fortunately, many k-rails from the winter of 2008 are still in place. BE SAFE!!

Looks like the river peaked at about 10.36 feet and is now going down. Hopefully the storm is winding down and the river will continue to fall.
