WV Flash Flood ~ 12/13/07

On December 6th we had a winter snow storm, then a week later we had a flash flood!
After five months of no rain, when our dammed pond was dry, we decided to clean up some of the clutter.
Then the rains came, and came, and came...the litter we had cleared wasn't far enough up on the banks.
This is the highest our pond has ever been, and all three outflow pipes were put to the test.
Everything held, so it passed...but boy what a mess!
The first six were taken in the AM, the next two in the PM, and the last the next day.

"Oh No!, not another one!"	"Six hours later...slowing down"	"And...the next morning"
