RIVER’S ALSO INSANE
June 28th, 2006
We were planning on kayaking this weekend on an overnight trip… but this rain looks to be possibly putting an end to that. Listen to this… when the Shenandoah River is over 6ft. high, it is generally too dangerous to kayak on. It is normally at about 2, to 2.5 ft. high. Right not, it is at 13ft.!!!
Also, the average discharge (speed) of the river is around 300 cubic ft. per second… today it is at 20,000 cubic ft. per second. Uhhhhhhhhh. The weather-dude was saying that rain like this happens once every 300 years. So basically, it ain’t lookin’ good.
