morning a little over a foot above flood stage, but has been
gradually falling through the day, dropping below flood stage a short
time ago. At Buchanan, the river is currently cresting a couple of
inches above flood stage, and is expected to fall back below flood
stage late this afternoon or early evening, and continue falling
through the night.
