The water would back up from Two-O-Clock and Darbonne and flood 3-Mile. We have a weir built to help from Two-O-Clock but if high enough it will go around it. The water was 8-10' deep there in '73.

I guess we'll see what happens. Darbonne is starting to come up. Rose about 4-6" since Sunday i beleive. I know the water was under the A frames of the RR track Sunday and yesterday i think it was touching them.
