This next one was taken this morning.
The dam is still open, this was huge rain event. Don Clement told me it was like a 50 year event.

Behind the spillway there is a little leak. The Town is aware of the problem. It is such a decrepit dam. The more I look at the it the worse it looks. In fact I didn’t ramble too far today. It’s not as interesting, the river, all puffed up. I checked on Mr Fat Tail and he is fine, he put on another performance.


Where’s that little dutch boy when you need him?
These next shots are just to illustrate my point that the River probably has little to do with the water table.

This is the woods beyond the pool above.


Mr Buck Tooth has been busy since last week.

Thanks for the photos Mike. I haven’t been around town much during the day to check out the drawdown, so your pics have helped.
By the way we really didn’t get that much rain, only 2.63 inches. Statistically speaking it’s less than a 2-year storm (3.1″) and much less than the 50-year storm (7″).

Right now I am saying “Clement” Like Jerry said “Newman”. My basement sump has been running since early Sunday.
