Storm damage 1


The heavy rain and wind storm of March 13 caused several trees to come down around the neighborhood, including this one that fell over the first island in the first pond.

Storm damage 2


The landscaping around the weir between the first and second pond was erroded by the very large volume of storm water associated with this storm.
