Shutterbug Saturday: Frog Strangler 2.0

Posted on April 20, 2019 Updated on October 4, 2023

We continue to have stormy, rainy weather and the temperature has dropped, considerably. We traded floods for tornadoes, yesterday. I learned, today, that two small farms south of town were damaged. I have a healthy respect for Mother Nature. ~Vic

Rain Storm Image One — Swollen drainage ditch to the river.
This helped flood my neighbor's backyard.

Rain Storm Image Two — The tiny creek at Turnip Patch Park took out one of the benches.

Rain Storm Image Three — The Riverwalk is to the far right.
The town closed it for a couple of days.
I saw a juvenile garter snake making its way back across the walk when I was out on the third day.

Rain Storm Image Four — Train trestle in the background.

Rain Storm Image Five — The wooden fence is a barrier between Gold Park & the Eno.

Rain Storm Image Six — That is the bridge I was standing on to photograph the Riverwalk & the trestle.

Or, Toad Strangler or, Gully Washer… My dad was fond of the frog saying and my maternal grandfather always used the latter. All three are good descriptions of the storm that just swept through here, today. I haven’t seen this much water since Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Have mercy… ~Vic

Rain Storm Image One — I thought my chairs might float away.
The backdoor neighbor had his own mini-river.

Rain Storm Image Two — Patio at the side door looks like a mini-swimming pool.
Water from the next door neighbor’s poor drainage…

Rain Storm Image Three — The gold pick-up in the first photo…this is his backyard.
The Eno hasn’t crested, yet and, the water is at his backdoor right now.

Rain Storm Image Four — Bench at Turnip Patch Park didn’t fare well.

Rain Storm Image Five — Entrance to Gold Park underwater.
One sewer access is over-flowing.

Rain Storm Image Six — Underwater graffiti.
See my previous post on this.

More to come…
