Holy shit. Looks like fun. And sketchy as hell. Pinned against one of those snags and bye. We lose kayakers every year on flooded creeks pinned against trees on outside corners.

That looks like a guaranteed ear infection.

So like 20 years ago I used to go to a buddy’s house on lk st Clair in Canada. We used to have to anchor 20’ center consoles 120 yds out and walk in. Now they park 45 footers on the wall.
20 years ago my friend tells me “yeah back in the 80’s we used to park 45 footers on the wall”. 20 years ago he tells me, as I’m holding my backpack above my head walking in, “the water will be back in 20 years and we will park 45 footers on the wall again”. And wadda ya know...
I guess there is a long history of the Great Lakes going in 20 year cycles of high and low water. (With 5 year micro cycles in there) Affected by the water table or geology or astronomy I don’t fucking know... anyways... like clockwork.. 20 years later he’s parking 45 footers on the wall.

Check out the crazy results when the everyday West to East wind blows across Lake Erie in freezing weather when the lake is this high. The usual seche result freezes and some dumb Canuck or Buffalo Mafioso has his car trapped in ice for 4 months.

Winter weather plays a role here as well, ive been visiting the northern great lakes region for 30+. the lakes lose a lot less water when they freeze over sooner ( and more surface area is frozen) so especially cold winters have always helped with levels but yes, as of right now they are doing just fine.

Brings back memories of walking on building ledges...Low head dams have killed more kayakers than cancer.

I'm sure emergency management was not happy about those guys doing that and posting a video.
Flooding is for the most part over here but as always it's a long way to recovery for many. I've seen peoples beautiful farm land and pastures turned into nothing but river rock not to mention homes and animals lost. I got lucky this time around. The Wallula Rd bridge where it meets Old Hwy 12 over Mill Creek not so much......

That was more a Public Safety concern... All's well that ends well, I suppose. I knew a guy who drowned in a hydraulic jump below a low head dam.
Wonder if those kayakers understood that the left side of the cockscomb they were riding was death?

Welp, looks like you need a new bridge...
Prolly gonna get a nice new fancy one, since the flow and debris load calcs for the old one weren't entirely adequate.

Fork! I'm afraid to ask "can this year get any worse?" <anti-jinx>
Flood watch yesterday has become flood warning today. County is issuing emergency messages to get to higher ground. Got soaked to bone this morning from having to run to the river and pull the pump, screen, intake, pipes and electrical out and move them to high ground. Almost an inch of rain at my farm in the last 5 hours. Some places have seen twice that and it's not supposed to stop for another 24hrs.

An inch of rain being something worth mentioning was so 1980 if you live in the midwest.

My house is up on the bench but my farmland/barns are on the valley floor (my barns are really built up). I do have a LTR close to the river but that part of the river has a higher bank. What I'm most at risk of losing is my irrigation pump/equip, crops and having my well fouled. Still it's a big hassle.
River is up 2ft since 10am this morning. It has stopped raining for the moment down here but the head waters are up in the Blues where it is still raining.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

I live immediately adjacent to a Dry Creek. It only runs during heavy rains and/or rain + spring snowmelt.
It's 40-50 feet deep down a wide natural ravine, and there's no way it'd overflow to affect our house (it would flow downstream and disperse first). There's a house being built somewhat close on the opposite side of the creek, downstream from us, so I hope those people planned for water control.

Lots of waterfowl in this area and I've been watching a goose who nested and laid eggs on a small outcrop with one little tree in the middle of the river's falls. Her and her goose daddy have been there about two weeks. Great spot any other time but more flooding today and images of the falls look like class 5 rapids. The tree can still be seen so there's a chance they make it.
