I've been watching that too. Starting to come down but not looking too good. Supposed to head down on the 25th. Talked to Bill Rennaker on Monday night. Said only Peacock and Ginnie are still "open" and wasn't sure what to expect. If things don't improve FAST the few places that remain diveable are going to be wall to wall. Have to take a number and wait in line!! Hope for the best.

When everything was blown except for Ginnie and the Mill Pond earlier this year, it was busy, but never 'that' busyQuote:

This is what happened last February when JB was blown for a day and the flow went up.

The river level actually dropped a bit, curiously! Its coming back up though, although, not to a point that will affect the diving in the area I'll be doing.
Some dives are still quite safe!
Do you have a boat?Quote:

"Peacock still fine; water below 1st step at P1 and OG."
Hopefully this trend continues.
