Flash flood

We had a tremendous thunderstorm on Friday evening that didn’t last long but deposited an awful lot of water. It was not good for the Woodchip paths, with a number suffering significant damage.

It also took its toll on our leaky dams, taking out the centres of dam 1 & 2

Looking upstream – vegetation flattened

Fortunately our footbridges withstood the flood even though they were submerged, I estimate the stream depth increased by about 1 metre in less than 30 minutes. Kudos to Skillmill for their construction of these footbridges.
