The Longest Night - Crest of the Bella Coola River

In my earlier post below I neglected to mention anything about the crest of the Bella Coola River during the flood - always an interesting and important detail.  In my neck of the woods - upper valley - I was monitoring the situation closely - for obvious reasons.  Here's the straight goods:

• 7-8 PM Saturday evening, rain stops
• 3 AM Sunday, water appears to be slowing down on the rate of rising
• 4 AM, clear indications that water is no longer rising and in fact small rivulets are dissappearing
• 4:01 AM, Mr. and Mrs. Grizzly went to bed.
