New England flooding

[Tim J.]

Although the water was higher yesterday, I didn't have my camera. Today
we went back with camera in hand. This one photo pretty much tells the
tale: http://css.sbcma.com/timj/pics/100_0890b.jpg

The water normally flows only on the far right-hand side on those trees.
Awesome to watch; hell to be caught up in, I'm sure.

Eeek! Yes, hell to be caught up in. Only chance would be to go for
the trees and hang on tight. If one were still conscious.

I'm not sure. The Swift is running normal because of the controlled
flow: http://tinyurl.com/7kj88 You can see the spikes when they let the
water out of the Quabbin.
The Ware: http://tinyurl.com/8qq3v
and the Quaboag: http://tinyurl.com/dpx7h
are running very high and join the Swift at Three Rivers (who thought of
THAT name?) to form the Chicopee: http://tinyurl.com/9myux
The photo was taken at a place called "Red Bridge". For those who like
Google Earth or other such toys, I was standing at about 42 deg. 10'
39.53"N and 72 deg. 24' 33.37W looking west. On Google Earth, that land
mass that looks like a left-hand mitten is in the center of my photo.

Thanks for the pic Tim. I took a ride over to the Stillwater in West
Boylston on Saturday. It was a few feet below the iron grid bridge on
Dana Street. I regret not bringing my camera. Interestingly there were
a few die hard spin-fishermen there. I am sure thousands of salmon got
up in this deluge though.

I got a few more photos off my camera today, for anyone interested in some
high-water pics.

I'm convinced my folks loved my brother more than me, but it doesn't
appear to be affecting your page......

The issue is your URL. The '-' from your sig gets included in some browsers
(Google Groups view did that). This link should work better:

Thank you my geeky friend. I guess I'll put URLs on a separate line from now
on.

wow.....seeing as how I know the places you are talking of, I am amazed.
Sorry to hear about the woman at Diana's.....I can remember a lot of times
folks will clamber down those rocks to see the water roaring through,
up-close. Too easy to lose footing, tragic nonetheless.....

Hi Tim,
Works fine for me. Getting a little frosty in the high country around
here. First ski area opened last Friday. I happened to be driving by
about 9:30 AM and the main parking lot was full. ( about an hour west of my
house)
Hear you are close to losing a town on one of the rivers.
(the Mill??)
Kinda glad I live on an ol' sea bed a little above 5700 feet in elevation.
BestWishes,
