Well Amy, I'm not weather guy with a bad toupee, but I think rain comes from the sky. Air can only hold a certain amount of water, when there is a sudden drop in temperature, the water vapor turns in liquid and falls to the earth. Think someone told me about that once in school or something.
There's one in ever village (pack), I guess we've found ours.
Rivers going up but not quickly so I think I'll wait til Tuesday too and take my chances on getting a kitchen pass for then. Hey Jeep, just tell her it's your birthday and you expect ice cream and cake at 14th street 8 pm sharp. A new paddle may be nice too.

Hi Amy, confessed gauge geek here.
The big rains happened Saturday about a hundred miles west of Richmond near the Blue Ridge mountains. For totally self-centered and narrow-minded Blue Ridge boaters this is as it should be as the water will reach Richmond eventually anyway so it may as well flow through the creeks first.
The biggest pulse delivery rivers were the Rockfish and Tye, both of which crested at around 8,000 cfs albeit very briefly.
It's a short pulse so don't expect it to last more than a day or so if that.
thanks ken, i usually watch the gauge too but been so busy havent had much chance to pay attention to the west....unfortunately came home to my dog having punctured her upper thigh so i won't be paddling tomorrow...will pick her up at 5pm tuesday from the vet surgeon and will be playing nurse maid so will have to catch the bubble on the next go around...enjoy everyone!!!amy
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.
