In a previous post on flood velocities and stages I commented that the flow
of 220000 was in 1927; it was in 1921. It reached a stage of 37.5. A flow
of 20K has an approximate stage of 11. Somebody who can get to the bottom
of the Grand Canyon can figure out how high the bridge is above a stage of
37.5. I solemnly promise to the members of this group that in 20 years
I'll look if nobody else has yet reported it. Again, one wonders about
scour; they found a squared timber under 60 feet of muck when they were
excavating for the foundation of Hoover.
See:

and goto peak values data. Card format is legible enough.
