Well that didn't take long.

All it took was a massive flood.

Probably have to upgrade or replace most of them after the flooding anyway.

To the best of my knowledge, only 9 gages went down due to submersion failure, this time around anyway. Most of those are already up and running. A few (Hazelgreen, Rich Fountain et al) had temporary portable gages installed until the stage dropped enough to access/replace drowned equipment.
