10/6/2018 Water at Bridge is 829.38 Water is flowing unobstructed. More rain coming

10/6/2018 Water at Bridge is 829.38  Water is flowing unobstructed.  More rain coming.  The water at the Powers Lake Culvert is flowing INTO Powers Lake, likely due to heavy flows from the North .  The culvert under Powers Lake/93rd street is at it's max on the upstream side but water is flowing towards Tombeau as it should.  It's going to take quite some time for the water to go down with all the rain still in the forecast.
