What High Water Looks Like

Here is a copy of the graph, generated by the new USGS/MDNR monitoring equipment. The spike started Thursday, May 10 and went through Friday, May 11. At 7:30pm Thursday the water level was 2.36', peaking at 12:45 am Friday morning 6.30'. The seedlings along the north river bank all showed signs of stress. There were no watering cans still in place, but all were not lost. Most were hung up in the brush and debris, partially filled with mud. [click on graph to enlarge]
