So I'm not sure what this is showing - it's showing the level of water at the bridge - in feet?? Then trickles off to nothing... what's a normal distribution?
The waves seem to point to tidal motion, but isn't that a river bridge?
Ah yes you are seeing the problem, grasshopper, but the data is confusing.
1. Yes, this is the water level at the bridge. Normal ( summer ) level around 1 ft. The high points were two 25 ft river level floods in the past week. ( Flood stage 20 ft)
2. Tidal motion; the river enters the ocean about 4 miles from the bridge. We have not only had massive amounts of rain but also extremely high seas and tides. A bad combination when your town is only 20 ft above sea level. The high tides will pretty much dam up the ability of the water to drain into the ocean.
My ranch is at app. 7 ft above sea level. When we have 8 ft tides and the river is at 25 ft, well, the water tends to do it's thing.
