Seneca seneca levels after all this rain

[JJBat150]

Got a lot of friends in the area working DOT/highway crews and Fire / EMS - it's a real mess between Seneca and Cayuga lakes in Seneca county.

If you haven’t done so already, please check and secure your docks, boats, rafts, paddle boards ect. The lake is still rising from the rainfall - about 8” in less than 6 hours according to the lake level gauge in Geneva.

Oh man! I’m supposed to be camping at Sampson starting this weekend. [emoji22] hopefully it comes down/settles out and everyone’s ok out there.

Significant debris and pollution at Lodi Point.  The State boat ramp is barely visible.  A very sad situation for those impacted.  Here is a link to some more aerials.

Me trying to get an extra pump this morning for the 3 feet of water in my basement...

A lot of serious debris floating out on the lake right now (friend said propane tank another said shed roof etc.) so a lot of care will be needed if anyone goes out there in near future. Depending on wind direction/velociies the stuff could end up miles from there too.

If anyone needs to borrow a submursable pump or 2 I can help.

I'm considering taking the boat out there in the next few days to drag any floating debris I can find back to shore.  Just have to see which launches will be open.  I'm thinking maybe Sampson or Watkins.  Anyone have any input on whether this might be a good idea?  Just want to help the lake.

Based in Sampson’s Facebook page it appears they’re open.

That said I think I’m delaying my trip by a day or two to try and let things settle out, sounds like I’ll need to be pretty cautious next week when I’m out.

Dragging fuel oil tanks in. On drone footage you could see the fuel slick coming out the marina from where they dragged it in... As if Seneca didn't have enough problems...
