Marina told my buddy to get his boat out of slip and move anything he had in dry storage due to rising water and more coming. Just thought I would mention it in case someone has a boat in a marina out there but marina doesn't have your contact info. Might want to check with your marina their status.

My Sister is in Little Mineral, and they have shut off power to the dock, but they are allowing boats to remain and float. Seems like 2007 all over again. we will make it through this like always, just have to adjust.

Wow, went by there on Tuesday and wasn't close to that height. Bummed out, loved to sit at that bar and watch all the activity at Highport. Cedar Mills said our boats are fine in the water but will have power cut at 635 ft. Currently have a shuttle boat to take us to docks.

I thought when they rebuild the Highport bar after the 2007 flood, they designed it to handle high water. is it still a fixed height building?

It's definitely fixed, wonder if that means once water recedes it's just washout, return equipment and get back in business ASAP. Haven't really paid attention to walls, bar, etc....as far as the materials made out of.

If you look at the wall on the right, the blue line is the height of 2007 flood, it's faint and above the double doors to kitchen. I did read where they built it with all the equipment removeable for this exact reason.

Forecast is to crest at 633, only 7 feet below 2007 levels. I'm betting it goes up to 635 or more.

After the 07 flood, I'm pretty sure they rebuilt with construction materials that would not have to be replaced. Or very little remodeling. Wash it out and some labor hours cleaning up Category 3 water and they should be back in business. I would guess some or all of the kitchen cooking stuff will have to be replaced, but I bet they can get that stuff moved in pretty quickly.
