So far the lake is up about 4 inches. Loads of debris this morning. I figure we got about 2 inches of rain. The lake was low to begin with so right now we are at normal summer pool. I expect it to come up more but I have no clue how much. Im thinking it can't be.that bad as there was not much rain to the west so Seneca shouldn't be filling g up Cayuga too much. No water in my basement so far.

Not sure what to make of this but thought you would be interested to know. Btw the water levels listed on the nyscanals site are still a few days outdated.

As it stands now, the lake is at 383.6. Flood stage is 385. It got to almost 386 this spring. I don't see it getting there and hopefully they will open the locks in a day or so. But I think its going to hit more thanto 384.5.
