Well we survived the peak of the water, but we are still above flood stage here on the West Branch. Chocolate milk outside, but we have at least dropped down to 17,000 CFS. There is at least 10,000 CFS coming over the top of the dam at Cannonsville as well, which will make the drop in river level much more gradual than we had anticipated. The rain stopped early yesterday, so the feeders are no longer pumping the huge volume of water into the system, which is likely the best news. Cars are going by the shop, which means that our road is back open as well. Check back to this page (and the graph below) to see how quickly we are falling!
