If anyone is in the area of Brady Run, someone kick the gauge for me. Flow gauge is off alot, shows a 14 flow on Tuesday, but there is very little flow on Elk.

Just a quick update, after I posted this thread I went to the brady run site where the gauge report is hosted and sent them an email to report the problem. Within a half an hour I got a reply back from a person stating that they had another report about the high gauge and someone would be sent to recalibrate the gauge. Nice to see that the PA government still cares.

The thing you have to consdider on that gauge, is the size of water it's on. You can't just look at it, and get a picture of what Elk is doing. A quick shower will cause it to rise quickly, and an hour later it's back where it was, and Elk was not affected at all. H@ll someone taking a leak upstream will make that gauge rise. You have to monitor it over a period of several hours. As well as looking at the radar, to see how widespread the rain was.
