Watershed Update


That purplish thing has been moving slowly over the watershed (or what I think is the watershed) for the last hour or so. Is it out of the question to think that we might have flooding at Lake Bridgeport after it was 18 feet low just a few months ago? When is the last time it flooded? 1982?

It now sits at one foot low and rising. Fast. Monitor it here.

Edit: I've been reminded of around 1991 when the bridge at Runaway Bay was under water.

I remember when the city park area in B'port used to flood fairly often (or it seemed like it happened often when I was kid). The creeks ought to be runnin' pretty hard around there right now.
