This was going to be a short weekend. I volunteered to work some SAR training because we had a group from Washington County coming in to learn some of the cool stuff that we get to do. I volunteered to be in charge of the far side for the tunnel reeve which is probably the most complicated thing that we do. It was fun and since Sean and Rob were over there with me, it went very smoothly. The pictures helped also. The next day I was going to take it easy because it had already been a long week.
Luckily, we were just hanging out because we got a severe rainstorm. It was predicted, but those can be not as large as they are predicted. This one was probably the worst weather forecast I had seen. It called for heavy rain and we got it. We went out to see the river after we checked the gauge online. It had risen to 3620 cfs from about 36. Fantastic! We had to go see it. It was pushing logs along like sticks. We wanted to go up the scenic drive, but it was closed due to rockslide. We checked out the river from both bridges. I tried to show Zyla but she was not impressed by the largest flash flood in 15 years. The next day it flashed again and went up to 1100 cfs. This was turning out to be a wet summer and we were enjoying it.
