Two storms, on Wednesday morning and Thursday evening, brought heavy rain and winds, and a generous amount of rain. In the first storm, our rain gauge showed 2 1/4 inches of rain, and in yesterday's storm, we got 1 1/4 inches. The lake level looks discernibly higher.
We were away from home for both storms, but drove home last evening just as the rain was letting up. The biggest tree damage we saw was right here along Hwy P. From Papoose Road to our driveway, we were able to drive around 4-5 limbs or trees which had fallen. We also observed as we drove past that those of you on Carlin Lake Drive were blocked by a large tree across the entrance.
And, another large tree must have been blocking the road between our drive and Carlin Club Drive, as we could see taillights of about 4 cars stopped on the road. It will be interesting to go down this morning, to try to spot the remnants of that tree.
Sally Wise sent photos a couple of days ago (and I'm sorry I wasn't able to transfer them) of the loon family, still on the lake. Maybe you will be able to see them when you are on the water this weekend. Our loon chick is much larger, brown and fuzzy. I'm sure we are all delighted that the parents--and ourselves---have been able to keep this chick safe so far!
