Ok for now. We'll see what happens when the upriver water gets down here later tonight or tomorrow. My pond is swollen up twice it's size and I've been trying to get some work done to keep it draining better but haven't quite gotten everything in place to 'get her done'. I need to put in a bigger pipe on one of the crossings and then cut down the height of the backside wing dam too so water that makes it into the pond can get out. This one is ready to go in the crossing beside the same sized one that is already in there.
I expect this hydrograph to be updated by 6pm today to a higher level. I keep a close eye on this website nowadays. You can see how quickly that river came up and how much. That gauge is 6 miles downstream from me.
