On May 1, our area experienced localized flooding. This local park has flooded a lot worse, but it made for some interesting sights.
Let's check it out.
Canada Geese (in the distance, look like dots) were enjoying themselves.
No one is going to park here (the bottom part of photo is the parking lot).
This picnic has been cancelled.
Later in the week, clouds gathered again, but the flooding was done.
By May 5, mud on the paths it had dried and left interesting patterns. For a few weeks, this mud will be hazardous for walking if it's wet.

It is a documentary series of photos showcasing impact of flood in local community.
ReplyDelete...WOW.
ReplyDeleteI've seen it flood a lot worse (2006 and 2011).
DeleteDoes that happen often?
ReplyDeleteNot every year, but it does flood frequently enough. The park is a low spot and is adjacent to a river.
DeleteWow, what a flood!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I’m sure the picnic was canceled. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteWater can be so destructive. My favorite picture today is the one of the water receding.
ReplyDeleteSo far, my little corner of Michigan has escaped the heavy rain. We've been lucky. Others, not so much.
ReplyDeleteHope it did not stay flooded for long. Nice sky photos!
ReplyDeleteDoes that park flood frequently?
ReplyDeleteNot every year, but it does flood frequently enough. It's along where a local creek meets up with the Susquehanna River and is a low spot - probably that's the reason why it's a park and not used for houses.
DeleteThat´s no bueno.
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like a lot of flooding. Instead of baseball, perhaps water polo!?
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of sky shots and reflections from the flooding ~

The flooding made a pretty lake although the grass, trees, and animals wouldn't have been happy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies. Nasty flood waters.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some serious flooding. I hope that residences and buusinesses were not affected.
ReplyDeleteThe Susquehanna in spring always made me nervous as a child. It’s always a relief when the flooding is minimal — but no way to predict it! These photos brought back some of those memories.
ReplyDeleteIf CANADA Geese are enjoying themselves, then that's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteIs that the same area that you've shared flooded in the past? If so, it sure has a problem! And requires a lot of maintenance.
