Newbie2012 Report post Posted March 21, 2023 Been snowing all day here in Flagstaff. Started last night and hasn’t let up. Wet, heavy snow! Or as they say heart attack snow! Things are starting to get Western south of the Rim with the rivers and streams. Stay safe down there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted March 22, 2023 Went down to tonto basin today to look at generator job and the tonto is fricking roaring, so my guess next couple of days, every wash is running hard up here. Feels like the storm and flow from 1991 but only one day of rain. Stay safe and don't even try crossing anything with this storm. Solid steady none stop down poor up here since last night and they say an inch to come. Roofers will be busy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm on top of a hill, but people in the low spots are screwed. Bear flats, flooding Beaver valley Whispering pines Houston creek Tonto creek Christopher creek Horton creek Hagler creek And every dry wash. Crazy but awesome. Time to build some more lakes, Doll Baby lake would be cool. One up by Camp Verdie and many more to catch water from rainy years like this. And more fishing because you can't steal a tag anymore.. Stay safe please. Turn around don't flout the fxxk away.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The creek crossings become unpassable for short periods of storm runoff, BUT, no stuctures are anywhere near being flooded. Whoever reported that is nuts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted March 22, 2023 Didn't say there was home flooding there, crossing is up 6ft, per my friend who lives there, maybe it sounded a little like it sorry, and yes I am nuts. 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

runningbird Report post Posted March 22, 2023 it will fill today, then be over 100% soon. The salt is usually a day or so behind tonto creek, so it is just beginning to rise. Here at my place I checked one of my wells yesterday. Water was 4' below the surface. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
