Well we are now about ready to flood. with the run off from the mountains not quite here, and the river rising.. its time to start sand bagging the realtives house.
the river right now is at 15 feet. flood stage is 16 feet. we have a dam north of us that is so full of water they are having to increase the flow of the output, which is flooding us to the south.. but the only way they can control the water level in the dam is bye letting out more water.. right now the water is comign in at roughly 120kcfs and only leaving at 75kcfs.. and the river has risen about 8 feet sense the start of it..
they are projecting right now, the river will get up to the 20-21 feet stage, and then stay like this all the way to july. we figure we have about 4-5 more days b4 the water gets to the point where it really jumps up.
we can watch the water rise from the time we started this morning sand bagging till the time we quite tonight.
here are some pics
first trip to get sand bags.. loaded and unloaded them.. in all today we did 11 truck loads and one flat bed car trailer full
