A thought on gauges. While the Broad Run gauge has been a decent correlation, I believe I found a better gauge while messing around on the USGS site: Its FLATLICK BRANCH ABOVE FROG BRANCH AT CHANTILLY, VA....which it so happens is a tributary that runs into Cub Run about a mile above the standard whitewater run (check the Site Map to verify)
Right now, with about 3/4' rain in the area, its showing about 60cfs and 1.6ft...not sure what the Cub Run bridge gauge is at, but I doubt its running yet. If people posted what their runs on the bridge were and what this gauge was at, I bet we could get a reliable correlation.
