Damn river, never has the decency to peak at interesting levels when I'm
home and it is light out. I did my best to get some shots using LED
bulbs and a speedlight. The photos suck, but you can kind of get the idea:

The first few were this afternoon, when it was running about 12 feet
deep. When I got home it was running at about 14.5 feet. Based on the
hydrological data taken a mile or so downstream it was running at about
8kcfs when I took the photos this afternoon, and peaked at 14kcfs
tonight. Note that at least fall creek and Zayante creek join the San
Lorenzo River between my house and where the measurements are taken.

The last few photos are just some snapshots from when I built my depth
gauge. When I was in Oregon, it was running at about 21 kcfs, and in
the '82 flood it hit 30kcfs, and was still a couple feet below the
ground level, with another three feet past that before it crests the
dance floor, so tonight's flow is about half as much water as we need to
get scary, and probably a third or a quarter what it would take to do
big damage, unless of course it caused my property to all slide into the
river.
