Remember the flooding we had in the spring that washed away the pond spillway? Remember the installation of the culverts that was supposed to prevent another such incident? Well, so much for that. This is our pond spillway now.
The water went through, around, and over the culverts, washing away the soil and the new grass that had sprouted. Tom tried, futilely, to brace it up with sandbags. Some of them were just tossed downstream like driftwood.
It started raining Friday morning and hasn't stopped. It's now 10:30 Saturday morning and we've gotten about 16 inches of rain so far. It's supposed to rain until Sunday morning.
Those two things that look like logs are the culverts that were covered with soil and new grass. Since Tom took this video, the soil has eroded away all the way to the front of the culverts. They're just useless pipes lying there now.
