I have seen two reports of blown caves, without mention here. The first was Little River, then recently got word JB was blown. Anyone been to LR this week? Or any other sites getting worse?

Site Conditions?

Dove Little River Wednesday, it was cloudy all the way back to the well casing, but still a great dive.
JB was blown yesterday. Twin looked fine from the surface. I could see the entrance and we couldn't see JB's entrance. Hole looked fine during our dive. I'm thinking JB might be collapse related and not directly rain related (the rain probably caused the collapse though).

Like last year?
Dove Hart a week and a half ago and found the conditions to be the best ever with low flow and great vis. It was the first dive though where the flow actually reversed while we were in the system. I went back the next day and saw that it was springing again.
We got 300 feet past the Black Lagoon.
Just scootered JB and the viz is 40 to 50. Its milky but fine.
The rain has kept Ginnie in decent shape, don't usually go on weekends however today there was a smattering of drunk tubers, two smokers tubing, three jumpers from the stairs and four or five walkers stirring up the run. No instances of attempted theft however we keep equipment locked up while in the water.
Not one unconscious drunk or weed smells, but the rain definitely keeps the lord of the flies effect in check.
So, no poopers today?

nope, no poopers, open commission of felonies or sex in the showers...the rain really mellowed the place out
