any experieces with the powerful surge on the Ocoee about 3 or 3:30 Sat
Caught me unexpectedly on the R at Broken Nose, some said it hit 2000 cfs
More powerful than anything I've seen on the Cheoah, nobody surfing in the hole below Second Helping
my friend got surfed and luckily escaped out of his boat from the lower hole at Broken Nose (pertty scarry circulation)
Noticed two raft customers clinging to rocks in same area
Not unusual to have surge but this was really special, Bubba must have pushed the wrong button (i think actually computer controlled)
