I'm hoping to figure out a correlation between the Crab Orchard rain guage and the Island Creek visual gauge at the put in. I do think that Daddy's is a good indicator, but I'm guessing that Island could be peaking when the Daddy's gauge begins to shoot upward. Also, I think that this rain gauge could be useful when there's been rain on the plateau and you need to spring into action before the Daddy's gauge updates.
Slimerboy reported 0.3' (low but runnable) on Island on 3-20-08. There had been just over an inch of rain 12-18 hours earlier. It had been a relatively wet spring on the Plateau and many of the common runs had been running pretty frequently.
