We’ve got water now!!!

Boy do we have water! 

in or out of the storm sewer?

after a weekend of steady rain, especially on Saturday, water levels have jumped dramatically – that storm sewer grate is full to the brim so not sure if the water is coming up or going down it….actually, it is just staying stable

The marker post

the marker post is down there, levels are still about 18 inches short of the highest recorded – at least since this development has been here.

Kilby campground

yesterday we did a quick drive through the campground on Harrison Bay – some of the sites were ‘wet’ then and I expect more are today since the water came up a lot over night.

flooded parking lot

the parking lot for the boat launch on Harrison bay was too deep to drive through yesterday…it’ll be deeper today.

The trail

Ernie walked over to the park yesterday evening…I’ve never seen the water this high over there….virtually the entire path is under water…

all that is visible of the bench

and that is the bench at the log bay – only the very top of the back showing – that was last night – it will be completely under water today.  No bird pictures today….it has been too miserable to be outside taking them although we took a drive to Manning Park yesterday, where the weather wasn’t much better, those pictures will eventually get onto my other blog http://birdingbyshantz.blogspot.com and I’ve been posting pictures of our last trip on it as well.
