I'll try to get back in the swing of things tomorrow.
I did go by the river yesterday and today. It's still high here at Huntington, but it's dropping. In a few days we'll be able to see the beaches again. Other than the community of Glenwood at Mile 286, we avoided a lot of the troubles that have plagued the lower river. Our worst hit in mid-March, and the rest has been mainly nuisance flooding. The local TV weather guys say April was the second wettest month on record in Huntington. Not just for April, but for any month in any year. The only wetter month, they say, was January 1937, when the big flood hit us.
I'll leave for now with this photo that I took yesterday evening. It was the best angle I could get given the river level. I'll be back up there in a couple of weeks to try again.
