Unhappy Yikes !

Looking at the lake level it seems to have stopped rising but it's still not falling At this time the output from the dam has climbed back up to it's max rate so hopefully the waters will start to recede soon. I'm a bit worried as the data show a rise of perhaps 3-4 in from when we were there last. At that time the water was lapping at the bottom of the dock and now it has to be over the top boards, at least on the outer, lower end. I'm hoping it hasn't pulled a "mcdude" on us, taking the Mee'n'Mac for a ride along with it. I'm guessing our neighbor who was still around Monday (now departed for FL) would have let us know if anything drastic had happened.....


RG - great pics of Parker Marina, Alton Gazebo and Downing's dock. Given the questionable integrity of the latter, I wonder if it will be around when the waters recede ? I wonder how large Sunday's waves out on the Broads would have measured ? Glad we didn't get the same hammering down in Alton Bay, the wind was enough as it was.
