    Default Hart /flood...?

    After seeing a pic of LR this morning...wondered if Hart is flooded past the Black Lagoon entrance?
    Probably no one in there since the storm, but what is the past experience in floods?

    Call the office. If the run is clear, the cave will be.

    Don't expect the run, or even the cave upstream of Little Hart to be clear if LR is reversed.

    FYI....no surprise....office said the spring reversed about 9/12 or so....but wasn't really sure. He (Mitchell) said the water was receding now.
    Time to go dive in the Keys............kidding... never mind! The Youtube videos I've seen of the Middle to Lower Keys are HORRENDOUS!

    Anybody know if the east Coast (Lauderdale to Jupiter) has any viz?

    Gulf here off of St. Petersburg has 6-8' in 105 ft.......that's 30 miles or so offshore.
    "Green and Gloomy " was the report.

    Actually, Roubidoux was in the mid 60s. Even Cannonball wasn't bad, I didn't even wear gloves. That probably saved my life BTW. I am going to post an IRAP in a few minutes that will explain that a little better.
