Good Rain, Finally

We have had almost 2" here at Peola Valley and the river gauge at town has had 1.4" in the last 12 hours. The East Fork is only up a quarter inch as of 8am. It is forcast to rain most of the morning and then again through the weekend so maybe this will be the first high water. It has been so dry that right now I'm sure most of the water is just soaking in, not headed for the stream and the river.

Noon update - We are now at two and a half inches of rain. The river has not come up much, but probably will tomorrow.

Evening update - Total for today was 3", Peola Creek is now so high that I would only cross it in an emergency. Hope this starts to clean out the main river.
