same thing down here crossing over the Rappahannock river in fredericksburg.  There also looked to be a lot of logs and big debris.  Hopefully everything settles down soon.

Re: The water is on it's way!

That is nuts at great falls!  I never understood what makes someone think it's a good idea to place their lives in danger like that.  It's different when it's your career or duty, but for a thrill....there are more safer ways to do that.

Missing kayaker (Sean Chilson) was found on May 20 near Biggs Ford Rd. That's just above Frederick. RIP.

Body never left the Monocacy. 

Normally they find them in the big pool at the confluence of Difficult Run & the Potomac

Re: The water is on it's way!

If you get a chance to listen to the Fishing the DMV podcast ( about the 1 hour mark) featuring Travis Edens, you will hear about 3 guys needing to get rescued by Travis and an outfitter. One of the guys wondered if he made a bad decision going out in a yak high water.
