Bad thing is many areas have over 3 inches the past 2 days already. We have about 1.5 here and still raining currently. Water levels are still pretty low though thankfully. 

We picked up 1.50 this pm. We kayaked the upper French broad around rosman today and the water was fairly low.

Looks like the southern and eastern escarpment may need a bigger boat.
