River crests at 16.79 feet in Springfield

May 9 Update:  The actual crest was later (around midnight) and almost a foot higher than predicted by the normally conservative graphs.  At this level, most camps along the river remain above the water, but only by  a few feet.

















May 8:  The river crested in Moorefield this afternoon around 1pm in the Action Stage (8.5 feet on that gauge).  For updates, click on the South Branch Springfield link on the right menu.  Current predictions have the river cresting around 7pm.
