The storm that crawled through the Northeastern US this week left behind a LOT of water! There were flooded houses and roads all over the state of Connecticut. I have put a link to some pictures I took of the Farmington River as it passes near my house. The first few pictures show the water almost completely covering an old broken dam. The dam is usually about 5 to 8 feet above the water on the upstream side of the dam and 8 to 10 feet above the water on the downstream side of the dam. Some of the later pictures show an island that is a little ways downstream from the dam and usually has the highest point about 15 feet about water level...it is being washed over... Enjoy! |
Oh... the pictures are streaming from my personal computer, so after about 10pm EST they might not be available until the next morning.
