Just wondering, should i cancel my plans to dive in cave country this weekend (August 22 - 24)? Will Ginnie, Little River and Peacock close? What about conditions? Can I expect conditions to be effected by the heavy rains?

I'm in the same boat. The weather looks pretty crumby. But, I'm still planning on cave diving.
never know until you get there or hear about conditions. I can tell you Jackson blue in the Mill Pond will more than likely not flood out, same with Ginnie. The nest 12-24 hours will tell alot of what will happen.

The "Eye" seems to be heading more or less right for Ginnie. Gainesville had our peak earlier and it looks like High Springs is getting much the same now. There isn't much wind here - just a lot of rain.
I'm guessing Ginnie will be in the eye from 4am-10am and we'll see what the storm has left after that. Places much north or south of Ginnie probably will get drenched the whole time.

Actually the Eye is now on Gainesville and looks like it might even pass south of Ginnie.
