Title: Had a bit of rain!
Post by: Pat B on March 09, 2011, 08:19:50 pm

Last weekend we had about 5" of rain in two days. Since 2am this morning we've had another 4". On our property we have a creek and a nice little warerfall. Some of you guys that have been to the camp-o-rama have seen it and even wet themselves in it. This first pic of of the waterfall under normal conditions...

Here it is today...

I've seen water almost 3' deep coming over these falls ones in the 20 years we've lived here. That was our 500 year flood a few years ago.

That's a lot of rain, but at least it prettied up the waterfall even more.  Hopefully no damage to come along with it.

Pappy, the falls is about 4' tall.  This is a nice piecful place to just sit and forget the rest of the world.
  We've had another few inches last night and it is still sprinkling now. Should be over 6" total for this event.
