Here in New England, we're in the midst of a soaking storm, it's been raining heavily the past 3+ days, Mass, and NH have already declared states of emergency, Maine has also declared a SoE, many places are experiencing low-level flooding.....
No, it's nothing compared to Katrina, but bear in mind, New England hasn't had major, widespread flooding in a long time, so it's new to us....
This HomePage I made shows Bartlett's Brook, a little brook that runs under the access road to the house, at the start of flooding, it's starting to erode the roadbed under the pavement, and there's more rain on the way, at least until Wednesday/Thursday, this is just the start....
Bartlett's Brook has *NEVER* flooded in the 35+ years we've lived here, this is a *first*
I also have some QuickTime movies of the flooded road (Dialup Warning, 5 MB)....
Torrential flow from the Bartlett Culvert
A pan of the flooded area, what appears to be a lake is actually flooded dry land, the right side of the culvert is actually a good 15 feet below the surface
Here you can see the start of erosion above the left culvert
