Also, you keep saying that SJRA makes the forecasts. The NWS is the one who makes the river forecasts. I can't find any of the historical forecasts from that weekend but if it is anything like all the rivers I was watching, it kept going up and up and up until it was at a record height.
I was tracking the "height plot" at NOAA. The projection didn't cross into record territory until 3 - 4 a.m. on the 29th. The hourly or 3-hour readings were in line with 65' until roughly midnight, and then the curve began to deviate from the projection. The projection itself didn't change for several more hours, but you could tell it needed to. Kind of moot by that point, because for anybody who hadn't gotten out by early evening, it was way too late. I lost 15 trees, many of them very large, so I had another driver to get out sooner (in addition to cancer, disability, and the desire to not be stuck upstairs hearing my stuff floating around). At one point I considered moving a car to higher ground, decided not to, and looked out a few minutes later to see a giant tree on the higher ground.
As for the sensor, 70' is plausible.
BigPuma, sorry for my tone earlier. As for your gender, I don't care. I do wonder why BigPuma quit on the Astros, mysteriously revived his career in Saint Louis just long enough to bloop a single off Scott Feldman and break my heart, and then went to Texas to rub salt in the wound by reverting to his end of Houston performance. Was BigPuma injured in Houston? Did he not not care? Maybe BigPuma can enlighten us. I always liked BigPuma until the last 3 years of his career.
