Flooding

[Broodstock]

I’m watching some gauges go vertical, have seen photos and videos of serious flooding in WMD and WV and VA. More rain overnight and tomorrow for SCPA. Local spots of an additional 2.5” on top of spots with up to 4” which all has followed a streak of wet weeks.

What are yinz seeing out on the waters near you?

Earlier this afternoon, the Savage above the reservoir was flowing at 5600cfs. Now it appears the stretch below the dam is flooding.

They actually mentioned that on our local news/weather here in Philly.

The inflow on the savage reservoir is over 11k cfs and it's spilling over with nowhere to go but down river. Saw they dropped the flow at barnum but don't think that will help much.

“
“The water level was beginning to breach the second floor of Westernport Elementary School with about 150 students and 50 adults.
First responders made about 15 rescue boat trips to get everyone out safely, authorities said.”

I’ve seen savage up high but this is pretty crazy. Hope everyone is safe.

Having a whole day off today every stream within driving distance was blown out black. So I drove to Boiling Springs to find the “run” crystal clear. First I hiked the AT to Centre Point back then fished the run. Actually caught a nice brown at the spillway

There was a kayak, paddle, and cooler found floating on the Monocacy River today. Not sure if the owner was found, but the videos I saw of the river looked like it was no place to be kayaking today.
