JayB Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 So what river are you hitting this weekend. Probably this one: http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/3603/ if the flows hold up overnight. Don't think that you'll have any problem finding water out there. I heard through the grapevine that the Sky is supposed to hit 38K on Sunday. Pretty easy to find a crew to hook up with at www.professorpaddle.com if you are need to scrounge up some folks to paddle with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideT61 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Jay, I know the PP.com crowd very well. I post there as Tradguy2 LOL. Do you post there? I already have people to go with, taking some beginners out Sunday and looking to hit the NF of thr Sky tomorrow. No way I'm touching the main Sky at 38K. I've seen Boulder at 30K before, nothing but waves and holes of biblical propotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Aha...registered there under the same name, but haven't posted more than once since the exile began. ScottH is a good friend of mine who you may or may not have run into. Snap some photos of BD and post them at pp if you get the chance - I've always wanted to see that thing when it's roaring. I've heard of people running it at 55K, but I don't think I'd want much to do with it unless it was about 11X lower. Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 The Sky was frighteningly high and fast this weekend. Was anyone out that way? I am wondering if anyone else heard the very, very strange thunderous rumble Sat night at midnight. I thought it might be an avalanche--there was a very long, loud rumble--but only one. It didn't seem like that could be thunder, could it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dechristo Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 ...there was a very long, loud rumble--but only one. It didn't seem like that could be thunder, could it? wait. With proper enhancement, it could become polyrumblous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if anyone else heard the very, very strange thunderous rumble Sat night at midnight. I thought it might be an avalanche--there was a very long, loud rumble--but only one. It didn't seem like that could be thunder, could it? There's some footage of the main rapid on the Sky on Saturday here - at 15,000 CFS which made me want to hurl: http://www.professorpaddle.com/mediaview.asp?mediaid=573&riverid=586 It's currently at 71,700cfs and may peak a bit higher. Anyone out that way that'd care to take some pics? This is a level where it wouldn't be surprising to see double-wides getting recirculated in surreal hydraulics.

archenemy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I don't think it was one weather front hitting another (the only thing I could think of that would cause one protracted rumble) because it was already raining so hard for days. I am not a weather expert (and I'd like to hear from some about this) but I didn't think that it was possible to just have a single thunder episode like that in the middle of a storm. It was very strange. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 In talking to some folks at Snhomish co public works this morning they are very worried that flows will reach the Oct 2003 levels, which were quite stunning and took out a bit of infrastructure.

archenemy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yes, I think that was the year we lost our bridge to Skyko 4. The first thing I did Sunday morning was walk out to see if was still there or not (I thought that was maybe the sound I heard Sat night). Freaky.

tvashtarkatena Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Word is the river's been run at 77,000cfs before. Footage, people, footage.... A buddy of mine lost his waterfront cabin during that flood. More accurately, both neighbors on either side had their cabins and property swept away...my friend's cabin remained cantilevered halfway over a fifty foot cliff, supported only by its concrete foundation. Needless to say, the insurance company frowned on his moving back in as is. Never buy riverfront property on an outside bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyree Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 There was definatly two or three seperate bursts of lightning on Saturdy night here in Bellingham. I saw the flashes but did not hear the thunder b/c it was raining so hard. My living room was illuminted with the unmistakable burst of blue light two or three times while we were watching Serpico.

TeleRoss Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Too bad it's all rain below 10K. Good thing Mt Rainier has 4k on top of that! Yeeeeehhhawwww! Edited November 6, 2006 by TeleRoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideT61 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 JayB, paddled the SF Snoq. with Scott yesterday, most other rivers were getting too high. Teleross_I hope your right, but I doubt the precip is as significant over 10K, but we can hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Gauthier Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Good thing Mt Rainier has 4k on top of that! Yeeeeehhhawwww! Yes, but the wind gusts for the past 3 hours have reached 118, 112 and 112 respectively... It's nuking up there. We've had 8 inches of rain at Paradise in under 24 hours...

archenemy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I read that this is part of an "el ninita" system. Does that mean anything? It seems like every year they come up with a new version of el nino to explain storm systems. Is this level of rain at this time of the year part of a longer cyclical pattern? I also read that this means our winter is going to be shorter. Can that be predicted this early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 We will probably get big landslides like this one: Or like the one that took out the Stehekin road in 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
