What's this?

Nice! I do think that record stream flow is missing a zero.


Some of these numbers don't jive though. It says the max discharge(flow) was 8700 in 1977. I assume that is actually 87,000 since their charts fields are weird. Last night, the highest flow I saw was 108,000, and it might have topped higher than that. And somewhere, I thought I saw that the all-time high was 117,000... which makes more sense to me.

And all that is with a flood stage of around 24 feet. somewhere int he historical record, I saw that the maximum flood stage ever recorded at Radford was something like 39 feet. I wonder what caused that? Maybe Pre-Claytor lake?
