Fox Begins To Recede At Algonquin

The Fox looks to have crested and then dropped about five inches in the Algonquin Dam tailwaters Wednesday. With the dam gate open before Saturday's heavy rains the level above the dam never got anywhere near flood level according to official readings.  Below it a little water slopped into Buffalo Park.
