    Last night got 8 inches on the east side. Check out the webcam at Hunter Winfields. The old C-Liner is sunk!

    Lake will probably be coming up a foot or so. Time to get the docks raised up!

    That would suck! I have 2 bilges in my boat, an auto and a manual one. The auto one comes on if the water reaches a certain level indicating the manual one isn’t on.
    Its been used a couple times.

    Mine had a manual and auto one two, found the perfect time for the auto one to fail doah

    It’s works now though, just got a text from the BIL a picture of my boat floating, but the parking lot is under water at the wharf…

    Been fishing out of “The Wharf” and Big Point – east side area for about 30 years. Never seen the area so flooded out! Crazy amount of water.

    Jon, did you see the access at the wharf by the bath house? It has been a constant flow thru the parking lot from the swamp across whistle road since Thursday afternoon. Real live rapids as the water hit the landing. I waded thru it Sunday morning and was shocked at how much current there was coming across the parking lot. Crazy the amount of water dumping into the lake just in that spot, not to mention all of it going thru the culvert on whistle road.

    Yes, I saw that. Whistle was still covered in water by the Flagship will into Saturday evening. Finally was clear Sun morning. Still a mess yesterday at the Wharf.

    Lucky for me, our place stays high and dry out on the point!
