...And RAINED, rained, and rained some more. Six inches today and then IKE gets here.
At 5am the USACE dropped the river 2 feet in anticipation of flooding. By 8 it was back the 2 feet plus one. Hmm... When gator left at 2 the water was knee deep over the dock. By 6 tonite when the yard shut off the dock power, the pedestals were under a foot and the deck of the sub was 8-9 feet ABOVE the dock. The yard guys had to get an extension ladder from the patio to the bow for me to crawl off on. The silver ladder between the fenders is a 4 footer!
Right before I left the NOAA weather said the river was 4 feet above flood and they expect it to crest at 10 feet above flood. Gotta take off EARLY in the a.m. to reconoiter. ws
