Bayview Flooding

We are now slightly above summer level. The projection is for us to reach flood stage by Thursday. If the warm weather persists, and/or we get drenching thunderstorms, this could be a bad one.

The Clark Fork River in Missoula has flooded out of control and we must be conscious that all that water is headed out way.

Much of the predictions hang on weather conditions. If it cools off next week we can probably get 2011 conditions. If not we could see the disastrous flood of 1997 repeating itself.

Hope for the best, but if you live along the lake shore, prepare with sand bags Good luck to all.

PS: I just checked weather radar. While nothing is close, I did note that the weather is retrograding, or flowing from east to west. This is very rare and when this happens it usually means more violent weather.
