That is pretty cool. I have been a long time fan of theirs,even when they formed Tom Tom Club. (What you going to do when you get out of jail,I'm going to have some fun,what do you consider fun,fun,natural fun). I guess this is a good respite of the inevitable flooding.

We were almost at record low water levels; and it rains 12-14" in Ga and we get this! When we had three hurricanes abt 5 years ago we only got a couple of feet of flooding. Now we're getting 9' in Branford !!

The locals I have talked to don't understand......

BTW: Branford will be under 2-3' of water by Thursday and this is predicted to be the second worse flood in Branford.

I am going down Friday to do a little more prep for my river house. If there are any other divers living on the river that could use my help, let me know.

The rains we had were very hard,and grouped very tightly together. Also,the water I have observed from the Flint River flooding is very dark,suggesting a lot of soil. I am wondering since we were so dry,with a 9" deficit for the year,if what we are seeing is very rapid runoff that isn't soaking in.

Hey Forrest, did you ever party down to Devo?

Is that the roof peak of the bath house or some other structure at Madison? I hate to say it, but I've never been any further into the park than the immediate main spring area.

Wow. Good luck to everyone down there caught up in this.

Janet, thanks so much for posting. For those of us far away and planning trips next week, it's valuable info....I guess there is no question now of whether Peacock's "under." If Ginnie goes, I'll put my trip off until May.

Best,
Barbara/San Francisco
