#streamgage
Here is the live data feed from the streamgage that should have saved the girls at Mystic Ranch and many of the others who are dead or missing. It will scroll off the chart in a couple of days and still nobody in the press is mentioning it.

Finally!!! Someone in the press picked this up. This streamgage far up the Guadaupe River warned of the flash flood amost 1.5 hours before it hit those little girls at the Mystic camp.

Here's the smoking gun Malcolm. This USGS streamgage far upstream on the Guadalupe river signaled the flash flood at least an hour before it hit the Mystic Ranch. Nobody was around to see it, they had been DOGE'd. Why hasn't anyone mentioned this?

See if water levels are heading toward flooding, from USGS streamgage → your phone.

Watch Duty reporters use tools like USGS streamgages to monitor conditions and turn observations into clear updates: watch-duty.visitlink.me/ArapzR

Spotted in the wild: a USGS streamgage - one key tool for tracking water levels in our rivers and sharing info on flood risk.

RiverAware shares USGS streamgage data, here are three screen shots from some nearby streamgages showing the water rise.

This USGS streamgage alerted the rising waters start peaking over an hour before the flood surge hit the Mystic Ranch girls. Anyone familiar with Kerr flash flood patterns seeing this data would have called in emergency services. They were DOGE'd.

I’d ask the USGS what they know about who watches that streamgage.

@riveraware.bsky.social uses 13,000 USGS streamgages that you can keep an eye on. The Mendenhall streamgage shows the flood level in real time today.

People are totally missing the importance of USGS, I talked about it in this article a couple of weeks ago. The streamgage network has been going steadily downhill due to funding and it's only going to get worse. We're breaking all of the safety nets.

Beautiful day for some field work in Kanton Luzern scoping out some SlowWater streamgage locations. Even a dusting of snow on some of the shady sides of the hills. Have to get used to field work in the cold again!

Download RiverAware app for free real-time flood alerts based on USGS streamgage stations. He’s a screen capture showing rising water in the Yahara River. #madison #flashflood #flood #flooding #WIwx Stay safe out there.

This graph shows that the USGS flood warning streamgage near Hunt clearly alerted starting at 2:30-2:45 am, up to 1.5 hours before the flood hit Camp Mystic. They should have been able to scramble emergency rescue services in time. Investigate this.

Was reminded Bluesky exists so I'm going to try and use it! Starting with a sad thing - my fav. Rio Grande streamgage hitting zero flow over the weekend :( Top line prior year, middle line daily median, bottom line current dusty streambed. #nmwater

Mostly we develop sensors for scientists, but our Chief Technologist also enjoys connecting people and science. After experiencing TS Irene he noodled on how to put USGS streamgage data into the hands of *anyone* - the RiverAware app was created to help people understand flooding and stay safe.

I confirmed the new bridge is shifted to the east of the old one, leaving the tower on the other side, using historical air photos from Iowa DNR. The tower is location of the stilling well for measuring gage height (water height relative to a local datum), as shown here: www.usgs.gov/water-scienc...
How Does the USGS Collect Streamflow Data?
The USGS follows four basic steps for collecting streamflow data. The following example uses a streamgage though more portable methods are also frequently used. Read on to learn more.

Stay safe and stay tuned in. This #Milwaukee USGS streamgage shows the water rising in real time as it floods. Many close-by streamgages are viewable in our free app. #flood #flooding #WIwx
