Monday night we received 141/100 inches of abrupt rain before midnight. Today, Tuesday 4:30 PM I went to the SW Gate to see the Woods. Water was pooled on the Main SW trail at 150 m from the SW Gate.. narrow inch deep pools that broadened to wide ponded areas past Dragonfly corner around the leaning ash tree.
The E Pond had risen to 1.2 feet and the W. Pond to 2.03 feet. Water was flowing, draining slowly through the Beaver Dam. A White-tailed deer sprinted west from the dam. 7 or 8 new Shaggy mane Coprinus were emerging NW of the dam. Earlier population/ clone of these was NE of the dam.
The rain has brought down many more leaves and sounds carry more clearly/ starkly of traffic.. or other sounds. It would be interesting to record sound (noise) level in the Woods 365 days of the year at 5 PM rush hour and note the change with the season.
