Major mega-flooding on the Del. & Ches. Bays

The flood is predicted to be near 1972 H. Agnes levels .... so stay OUT of these waters until the water goes down (and all the buoys are found or put back on station ... and they do a quick 'resurvey' of the bottom!!!!! H. Agnes changed the entire bottom of the N. Chesapeake in 1972. This current flood is predicted to be only 4ft. lower than the 1972 flood. Currently the Conowingo dam at the head of the Ches. is running 32 FEET above normal .... thats a LOT of water. Delaware River also well above major flood stage ... going to make the Del. Bay 'interesting'.
