The Dirty Devil is at 2450 cfs when it’s normally a trickle in October…

As most of you know, I live right next to the confluence for the Dirty Devil and you're absolutely right. It is usually a trickle this time of year and farmers are usually fighting over water usage for one last watering.
But yesterday, the Dirty Devil was full, bank to bank.
At least it isn't like 2006 where our back field (next to the house) was under water.
We are watching the lake level just out of curiosity, to see what it does.

Already over 14,000cfs on river flows. :)

The one to watch at this time of year is the San Juan... sometimes the late season southern storms can really crank up the San Juan. The largest October flows on the San Juan?

10-14-41 - 42,500 cfs (second highest recorded flow on the San Juan since 1933)
10-15-41 - 30,200 cfs
10-19-72 - 26,700 cfs
10-20-72 - 26,400 cfs
10-15-47 - 23,000 cfs
10-21-72 - 16,700 cfs
10-5-41 - 16,600 cfs
10-4-41 - 15,600 cfs
10-1-37 - 14,000 cfs
10-23-69 - 13,800 cfs

Today, it's 4,910 cfs, about 4 times the average for this date...

Speaking of the San Juan, it is roaring through Pagosa Springs right now.

There is a bullseye of moisture expected tomorrow from the remnants of Raymond right above the Vallecito area. The San Juan could get up into the levels you show for 1969. Navajo reservoir gained a foot yesterday and will probably pick up another 2 or 3 feet before the storm is over. I'm really enjoying this stormy period down in Las Cruces which is usually pretty dry at this time of year. We are socked in again today, with the possibility of another inch or so to add to the half inch we have already received. Powell is up 3 inches today with a lot more runoff coming in the next several days. We are going to get at least a foot, maybe 2! I'm giddy with anticipation.
 
impressive!

I see that the Vallecito Reservoir is also way up. It has gained 8 ft in the past 2 days. It looks like the San Juan, after a pitiful runoff season is now contributing its normal yearly share to Lake Powell.
 
The San Jaun peaked at 7810, bringing Navajo up around 3'. Most of the big rain ended up in Vallecito and Navajo. The Animas is running good also! It has started raining again for round 2. If you are bored, check out the creek and river flows around Pagosa, Durango and Silverton. Pretty impressive numbers. For example, the Pine was below 70 and went up to 3000.
cheers
