    Default River Rise

    Zater level at Lauraville is almost 23'. 25' and Peacock is blown. May have to postpone my trip next week. Any comments.
    Thanks
    John

    Peacock has a long slough that can absorb a fair amount of water level,but other sites have blown or at a threat of blowing. This is something we used to see every spring with normal weather patterns,and is a much needed thing. When ever planning trips in the spring,it is always prudent to have plan B..C..and...D,because of the rains. FWIW,South GA has gotten a lot of rain in the last 24hr,and still raining.

    Dive outpost says peacock isn't blown, heading out there now. Call Cathy at dive outpost to check it out before you head down.

    Why can't we all just get along.

    There is plenty of good diving to be done when some of the usual places are blown. A few Februarys ago Peacock, Little River, Madison, Telford, etc. all flooded out just before Tracy and I left on a trip to Dive Outpost. We had a great trip anyway - spent two weeks diving Ginnie, Manatee, Jug, Jackson Blue, Twin, and Hole in the Wall. They are all quite blowout resistant - Manatee in particular can be very good when the river is high - low flow and great visibility.

    All true. I will have to check with Paul Clark and see what he is up for.
    Thanks

    Just looked at the NOAA map, lots of rain in GA and AL. Flash flood warnings on the Eastern end of AL/FL border.
