Hurricane Irene 2011

Hurricane Irene dropped a great deal of rain on our area which led to the French Creek behind our home to overflow it's banks and flood the meadow to about two feet. I was able to take the canoe out and make my way through the woods and around the cabin on our property. Erin and Sydney had a great time wading around the meadow and splashing in the overflow. Five hours after the meadow was flooded the kids wanted to go back down for another round of wading in the water. We made our way down around the barn to the meadow and to our astonishment all the water was gone. The grass was exposed again and it looked there had never even been any water in the meadow. The kids were thoroughly disappointed!
