History-Making Flood??

From Madison's Channel3000

Media hype or bold prophesy??

Officials said that they expect the Rock and Crawfish rivers could reach record levels in the coming days...

They said that a very wet fall and the record snowfall this winter is to blame for what could prove to be history-making flooding...

If the predictions are right, many of the 60 or so year-round residents in the area will see a spring flood like they've never seen before...


The National Weather Service said that it's possible that both the Rock and Crawfish rivers will reach record flood stages. The Rock River last hit its all-time flooding record in 1993. The Crawfish River set its record in 1959, WISC-TV reported.

And finally, at the end of the story, the media adds their
caveat...

Watertown city Engineer Joe Radocay said his department is currently monitoring the levels of the Rock River and added everything seems to be normal.

And this from Watertown in an earlier post...

“Right now it's a pretty typical spring runoff,” Radocay said. “So far there is nothing unusual.”
