Pee Dee River Flooding

[Catdaddy]

Went this am to check my feeders before work. Damn, I forgot to bring waders. It's out the bank and I waded in chest deep water in places to retrieve my cameras and feeders. I had to use a boat to get one out. If you got anything down in the swamp, it may be too late to retrieve it. I feel sorry for the turkey nests and baby fawns. I heard one baaaing for it's mother out in the swamp in a tree top. I tried to get to it but the water got over my head. Made me sick.

Dang Cat, hope all your gear is good

Saved all my stuff. I feel sorry for everybody else. It rose 2 ft while I was there.

I hunted one of Marcus' swamps a few years ago above Lowther's Lake when the water was up. You usually had to walk about 100 yards, across part of the dam, and then wade into waist deep water about 30 yards to where I hunted. It had been raining a lot and the river was up, I walked 20 yards and hit water. Helluva current going through there. I bet it was atleast 15 feet deep where it's usually only 3'. I couldn't even make it into the actual swamp. That river doesn't play around when it comes out of the banks.

I just left from under the bridge at the hot spot in Marion. Let me tell you river is hualing ass and tons of logs moving in the water. we where there for about the hour and the water came up over 8 inches.. had we waited any longer we may not have made it out.

Damn, sad deal for all.

Cat,

Imagine how it's rolling right now. It's damn pouring & has been for the last two hours.

i sure wish we could pipe some of that down to fill up the edisto river.... some one has found the drain hole for that river and has permanently removed it.

FORECAST...RISE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE BY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND CONTINUE TO RISE TO NEAR 21.6 FEET BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

Where the hell was this before duck season?

And that's before the 3 inches of rain we just got from here to NC in the last 2 hours.

Says your area's in the 7th to 90th percentile, CD. I'd hate to see 100.

Seems like I remember it hitting 23 ft several years ago. We may get there again.

I am praying for a 21 foot river flood on the Congaree this year. It will wipe the hogs out...
