Pics

flooded yard

We had an intense thunderstorm today, complete with half-inch hail for a while, and then it moved off to the east-- upstream in our watershed. This is the result, an hour after the rain stopped: water as high as I've ever seen it in the smaller streams in town.



barn and flood

I'm sure this old barn has survived worse.

Muddy Brook flood

Muddy Brook, in my backyard; normally I'd at least stand a chance of jumping it and keeping my feet dry.

gosling and goose

A little family of geese took refuge in the lowest part of the yard; the adults were clearly reluctant to take the goslings into the water so we didn't go very close.
