Fellas,

Here is a flow gauge about 30 miles downstream from where we were this weekend.

Time Flow (cfs)
9:12 AM 278 (normal)
9:42 AM 281
9:56 AM 377
10:11 AM 1444

Last night there was a major storm cell just to the south and west of where we were, obviously within the watershed. It was a small cell and covered a very small area. Up to 15" were recorded in a matter of hours. Rock doesn't soak up much rain.

This could have been disastrous if we were swimming at the time.

Life in the Hill Country...

Link to rainfall history. Hope the link works...

Edited to add: Link doesn't work but copy it in your browser and it will work.

As a side note Pat, maybe the "rejuvenated hybrids" got flushed out of there before they owners saw them....grin...

Success is found at the intersection of planning, hard work, and stubbornness.
