Conditions…

[The Chairman]

Like the big rain storm that made it through Tally and south Georgia last night?

Did it hit the Okefenoke Swamp? That's the important watershed for the Suwannee. Again, I didn't see much rain yesterday. This was mostly a wind event down here and it didn't linger. I would love to hear from anyone living in the Valdosta area.

Did it hit the Okefenoke Swamp?

Yes

 

[The Chairman]

Yes

I can't find how much rain they got, if it's anything like we got, then it wasn't much.

I'm back home and the power is on. Yay! We only got 0.26" of rain yesterday. That's not going to raise levels much, if at all, even if dumped in the Okefenoke swamp.

I do not think the rain in South Georgia yesterday will do anything to the river levels here in North Central Florida. Ginnie, Peacock, Little River etal.

On my way to and from Madison today, I noticed a ton of trees along I-75 between Lake City and Highway 6 that look they had been ripped apart in a twister.

@kensuf - how was Madison?

 

[kensuf]

Flow was up, visibility was ~20' with a lot of particulate. Diveable, but not great.

 

[kensuf]

And Peacock is 30' of vis, no particulate, brownish color in the Olson tunnel (like spooky brown).

Looks like the Suwannee bottomed out for now. The Luraville station is already up a half a foot, and the prediction is that it will rise another a couple of feet at the other stations over the next week. Hopefully that is just a temporary bump.
