River View

I took a short walk about 11 AM to see what was happening along the river. It was easy to see that it is rising.

But this picture makes it look so beautiful and benign.

This is a reflection of one of the bridge piers on the High Bridge.

And if you ever wondered how the official levels are measured, here's the answer.

This is a United States Geological Survey station. It is a few feet up river from the high bridge. There is a cable that extends down into the river from the station. I noticed the cable is in much better condition that it was just a few weeks ago. Someone had the fun of working along the cold winter in February getting it updated for measuring the flood.
