05 May 2011:
 

Water has risen markedly at all transient bodies of water in Logan County.
I actually thought to myself, holy "excrement", this pond grew.  The KY 739
Transient Pond covers approximately 2x its previous maximum observed size
and now contains an island.  (Past observations at this location are NOT
extensive.)  Present today were:

Water at the US 431 Transient Pools was exceedingly high, but no interesting
birds were observed.

 

That concludes this report.
