Will Lyons looking down the Toxaway. Tropical depression Fay came through and dropped over six inches of rain widespread and dropped twelve inches at my house. Also a tornado came through my neighborhood, every stream in the southeast flash flooded, and we drove around all day looking for the smallest stream we could find. We ended up at moccasin creek with the best of intentions, however when we put in we found ourselves fighting the rhodo usually located six feet above the creek. Scary day, we boated for nearly five hundred yards before we were scrambling for the banks. Many people swam today, Tuesday August 26, 2008, many people made bad decisions to put on rivers with it raining the way that it was, and many people barely made it. Let this be a reminder to everyone who loves kayaking, the weather and river will always be more powerful than we and much respect for the river is needed for successful missions on the river. Always be aware of what is going on around you and your surroundings and if you feel like it has rained to much....... Then it probably has!
