Guess it hadn't made it to the lower then yet... I left there at around 12:30 and it was still looking nice and green with about 3+ feet vis.

Didn't rain all day while out... River was in great shape at 4pm.  Raining pretty good now tho.  So won't know till first light.  If I can get up i'm heading put again FL.  I'll update when I get to the river.

They are expecting 50+mm of rain in the next 24 hours, that will definatly have an impact on the river. Looks like the river levels are on their way back up.
