No flood yet but plenty of rain

According to the NOAA the glorious Rogue River won't reach flood stage today after all. They've retracted the flood warning but no one can retract the persistent rain. It's still coming down in buckets and the river is a muddy brown patch visible across the roof of the neighbor who lives at the bottom of the hill. Looks like I won't have any trouble getting to the library. All the RVers who live along the Rogue are probably white knuckled. Back in '97 many of them had to skeedaddle before the rising water. If they were reading my blog they'd no it was OK.
Or better yet, they could check the NOAA site:

Then again, the weather service has been wrong before. We'll just have to wait and see what the sky does.
