Storms were recorded in last 24 hours (option not available on menu). Muddy water; water very turbid. Bad storms during the past week. As a side note; we did water quality testing from near the headwaters down to the mouth of the Bonnechere; and water clarity seemed to be bad at both Renfrew sites in particular.

A few severe thunderstorms earlier during the week; water is more brown; not as clear.
