    Default PSSP water levels

    The gate to the park has been locked for a few days because the water has covered the road near Bonnet, looks to be about 3' deep there and it was covering the road below the park at the area where the trees were cut behind Orange Grove, the road there is now dry but water is everywhere. The level at Orange Grove was over top of the railing, the water has fallen about 6" and some of the top boards are exposed again.
    The water is about 25' below the fence at Bonnet, Pothole is almost full.
    The river has crested and the water is falling but it will be quite awhile before the water is gone, the woods are all full of duckweed and mosquitoes.

    Janet,
    Thanks as always, for your kind assistance. Our local caves Jackson Blue and the other millpond caves are in better shape but ripping flows and reduced vis.

    Default Cow upstream

    Based on previous flood experience who clears up first Cow or Orange Grove? Did anybody stop at Cow recently?

    Default Cow or Orange

    PSSP is usually the first to clear between the two. John O tried to check all the sites out today, he couldn't get close enough to see at most of them. The water is falling fast, keep your fingers crossed.

    when you say reduced vis at JB can you give a distance estimate? Reduced in this system can still be 40'
