Greg Osgood of Durango, Colorado hit it pretty darned close with a guess of 8,050 CFS on the Durango Gauge. The acutal peak flow was 8,080 CFS on May 25th, 2005 @ 11:30 AM.
Watch out though. I just spoke with a friend of mine last night who has been trying to recalibrate the Durango area gauges and the flow you read was off by almost 2-400cfs on the low side. You should see a little star in the next few days with the correction factor.
