The Middle Fork of the Eel River at Dos Rios topped out at 10.5 feet with flows of about 6,000 cubic feet per second at around midnight on Dec. 3. The 8 year normal for this time is about 700 cubic feet per second.On the South Fork of the Eel River at Leggett the peak occurred at about 9 p.m. on Dec. 3 at 12.5 feet and 4,300 cubic feet per second. Median for this date based on 43 years of data is about 500 cubic feet per second.In the Lower Eel River at Scotia the flows were still climbing as of press time with flows at 30,000 cubic feet per second and the river height at 20 feet. Normal flows based on 102 years of data are about 3,200 cubic feet per second. Spawning salmon are taking advantage of the high flows to move into their spawning grounds. Those are INCREDIBLE #'s.................. The spawning salmon able to now spawn .....high five kids! On the news tonight and on a weather blog I follow, the upcoming storm continues to loom large. People there are all kinds of giddy with glee. I'm getting whiplash re: these El Niño predictions. This is all way above my pay grade. The now late-landlord of the place I'm renting---I live on a very flat area of town that experienced flooding last week----bless his heart, now in heaven, was an engineer for Volkswagon. He ran the service dept for the first VW USA in San Francisco. I learned last week that he built, himself, an extensive drainage pipe system after repeated flooding in decades gone by.....His sump pump is a dream.............Neighbors up the street with cars totaled due to flooding last week, businesses 2 blocks away closed for ditto and we are bone dry here........ The only---and these days significant issue---is that he didn't think about re-routing the water for storage......It now goes to the Bay.
