What can the Last Rain Tell Us? They say pictures are worth a 1000 words. So I'll let you take a look and be creative then tell me what you see. It rained here on 11/30/2007. The total precipitation was near 2.00 inches for a 24 hr. period. By 10:30 am., Deppe Pond was full and over flowing into the planned "Tui Slough" area. The first four pictures were taken Friday, Nov. 30 @ about 2:30 pm. The remainder of the pictures were taken on Monday, Dec. 3rd 2007, three day after the rain stopped. |
