April 19 conditions

[JohnF52]

A few hours ago it rained about one inch in about 30 minutes at Elkins, and maybe more up the White River. More messed up conditions coming for at least a few days. The river already rose about six inches in the first hour after the rain and usually takes several hours to crest. It also quickly became chocolate milk colored. This morning there was almost two feet of visibility.

Update 4/20- The upper White is clearing and falling rapidly. The influx of mud must have been from ditches on dirt roads flooded by the sudden downpour. Should be great conditions by tomorrow unless more rain falls.
