Photographer states :: A release from a glacial lake in Skilak Glacier caused minor flooding in low lying areas along the Kenai River.
...The water level peaked at 15.06 feet at the Soldotna Bridge. (click title to entry - thank you) At 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, that level reduced to 14.2 feet, said John Mohorcich, Kenai River Center manager.
The normal water level for this time of year at the bridge is anything below 12.7 feet, usually between 11 and 12 feet. When the Skilak Lake glacial dam breaks, it's no surprise that the water level rises 1 1/2 to 2 feet, Mohorcich said.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the Kenai River from Skilak Lake to the city of Kenai on Sunday. That warning remained in place until 4 p.m. Tuesday....
