I just got off the phone with Mike at Gilboa Quarry.
Despite circulating rumours to the contrary,
Gilboa Quarry did NOT flood!! :monkeydan
The river didn't make it into the quarry!! (there was some leeching through the wall under the campground road)
Divers have indicated that viz is 15-30ft, depending on where you are and how deep you go. Most of the bad viz is on a surface layer.
The river is down 12-15ft and no longer threatening to overflow. Mike has also had 3 pumps running to get the quarry level back down a few inches and take out some of the surface layer where the bad viz is suspended.
On the home front, there was flooding in Mike and Jodie's basement, and they're still assessing some of the damage (e.g. furnace, etc), but the water DID NOT make it to their main floor!!
Mike wanted to pass along a thanks for all the prayers, well-wishes, contributions, and sacrifices by divers stopping in to help out! He indicated he had his first good night's sleep last night.
He wanted to make sure that everyone knew that
"The pool is open"
and he's looking forward to seeing everyone soon!!
