A BLOWOUT?

I was at Ginnie last night - spring run was crystal clear, cave was gorgeous. At least until/if the river rises, you should be good to go.

I don't think the Ginnie Parking lot goes under at that 43.7

Looks like they are downgrading the river rise. It is now predicted to be 40.1, which is only a foot and a half above the current level.

Kristi just said Little River is open.

Ichetucknee is listed as open.

Most of the rest of the cave sites in the area are still listed as closed.

Ginnie is open according to a Facebook post from yesterday.
Anyone know for sure one way or the other?

Top of the page, someone said that they were just there.

Not really surprising that they are the first to open. For them cleaning up after a disaster is just another Monday during the summer.

I was there Thurs evening; no trouble getting in, roads and parking were all cleaned up, spring run/cave was clear. There was one other pair of divers in the water, but aside from us and a handful of campers, it was pretty quiet.

I give it 50/50 odds of hitting Florida as a hurricane. But I think it is too far north to do that hooking turn to give the Gulf side a direct hit.

Strange most of the estimates have been removed from the SRWMD's website. I don't know what that means, but looking at the data the Santa Fe is largely flat, the Suwannee is showing a rise both in Luraville and at Peacock.
