Isabel Aftermath at Smith Creek
Please don't be alarmed by these pictures. Smith Creek recovered from Hurricane Isabel just as she has from previous high water conditions. The fish hunkered down deep in the water and if we lost any fish downstream, it wasn't many.
Check out the high water mark on the tree across the stream.
This is where we usually cross the stream - not today!
9/19 River bend below Kevin's honey hole. Shot from neighbor's side looking back at the bend. Lower end of our large field on left. What happened to the high banks? All of the grass in this picture was underwater Friday morning.
9/19 Looking
downstream from where the picture above was taken.
Wide, deep & fast water.
9/19 Emergency
spillway at Culvert Bridge before cleanup. Watercress washed up on the
roadbed. The water level was up in the mulberry flat, pictured in
the farground, during the high water.
Where are the culverts on this culvert bridge?
They're completely submerged but fortunately the road didn't blow out.
