How are things looking, river graphs show a rise in water levels still
Ginnie looked like it dropped about a foot since last weekend. Vis was maybe 40'
Withlachoochee River in Valdosta, Ga is out of it banks again.
Suwannee River at the North bridge on Hwy 129 near Suwannee Springs
is coming up too, almost back up to the highest point it was b4.
Forgot to check the Alapaha River on Interstate I-75 it probably is
coming up too.
All the rain in South GA has made a big difference.
What is your best guesstimate on when Peacock will turn?
When the water is lower, Peacock turns at 27'. They reopened the park at just under 29'. It's at 28.5' now. I'm not sure what it does in this situation. I'm going to guess any significant rise will blow it out again.
I am looking at the NOAA river graphs and presently Peacock is at 28.72 and dropping,but if you look at the next station to the north-Dowling Park,it is dropping too.
Madison SR6 is at 49,and has dropped a lot,and continues to drop.
To get a clue of what to expect,when I check Valdosta river levels,they are not rising,but dropping (from 12' to 9'). That combined with the guages to the south that are dropping,it may be the worst has passed us.
Lets go diving,and don't forget the NFSA social April 3rd
my girlfriend (also cave diver) has been driving from Jax to Tally almost daily for the past three weeks... she says the suwannee (from I10) has been bouncing up down but has maintained a very high level compared to normal. The banks are underwater and the river level is up into the trees.... I guess it depends on what type of weather they are having in GA.
