Yesterday’s deluge brought alot of water in a very short time. Jon went down twice to check on our three strong dams and how they were holding up. Water was flowing freely over the top but things damaged looked minor. I’m sure by this morning the cumulative wear has been substantial. Yesterday the primary dam was newly mudded and looking pristine. What I call the “annex” (to the rear of the Escobar bridge) was holding water deep enough to cover some tulles. I watched not one but two green herons hunting in the creek, this one along the shore were a foolishly leaping frog met his doom.
I was at work during yesterdays downpour. I heard approaching thunder and saw a horizontal streak of lighting errupt very near my office. My friend from Florida wouldn’t have allowed me to stay in the building, but I thought it was thrilling. I’m less thrilled about another round of paintstaking repairs for our beavers. But they apparently don’t mind.
