Upper Sacramento Today

[StevenB]

Well, Thanks to the pineapple express the Upper Sac hit over 29,000 CFS (at the Dog Creek (delta) gauge today.

Here is what it looks like in Dunsmuir.

Regulars will recognize "The Wall" which is between Butterfly and Gillis Ave.

River did not quite make it over the road, but they did close it just in case.

Hope the rain stops soon.

Here is a short video of the Upper Sac at Sims that I shot yesterday at around 1:00 or about 29,000 CFS at Delta. Hard to tell but the video is a bit fuzzy due to pouring rain at the time.

Cool to see, that helped add 131,000 acre feet to the reservoir yesterday alone!

Cool video dude02. That sort of puts it in perspective, huh? Besides the needed water, one good thing I always like about winter / spring flushes is they change the river. When the water finally recedes it's like having a brand new river to fish and explore.

That is a Great way to look at it...

Lived in St Louis for 6 years and those rivers seriously flooded every year. The gravel bars were constantly moved around. Huge trees washed out, root balls there one year, gone the next. So the silver lining of the floods was staring us right in the face.
