Heavy Rains Lead to Flooding

Wednesday, March 20, 2012

The heavy rains of the preceding twelve hours have caused White Rock Lake to rise about three feet. The jetty in Sunset Bay is completely submerged, and the ducks are swimming where children were playing only hours before.

The jetty in Sunset Bay is completely submerged by flood water.

The engorged lake now covers the barbeque and picnic areas surrounding the lake, almost reaching the car parks closest to the lake.

The land that is normally visible in the inlet area of Dixon Branch Creek is completely covered with water, and one wonders what has happened to the Water Moccasins that normally reside in that area.

Fortunately, once the rain stops, the water level subsides quickly and things soon revert to normal.
