Usually I keep and eye on the local river level since i like to go driving through it when it floods. The “check for flooding” website hadn’t updated the river levels since 5am, and I felt like we’d had enough rain for it to be at road level. So I took a ride to see and was sorely disappointed.
I was told today by a friend, that the depth marker is nothing of the sort. It just tells you meters above sea level. Useless.
This the rive level down at Maiden Newton, I use it for an idea of what’s going on at the bridge on St. Helen’s Lane.
