All gone by the afternoon, but at 11:30AM this morning it was basketball underwater.
The creek’s far bank is past the trees, the line of shrubbery in front of the electricity tower. I don’t know how far that is, but it must be more than 100 feet the water washed over the banks of the creek into the park.
This is Lake Daniel Park, Greensboro, NC seen from the bridge that crosses the creek north towards Benjamin Parkway. The restrooms building is to my left, the bridge is behind me on the right.
Jonathon perches on the railing of the east facing bridge, the one that goes through to E. Lake Drive. I estimate the water to be around 20 feet deep under the bridge. The current was strong near the creeks, I worried I’d slip with my camera. I was wading in the water up to my thighs.
I don’t know what this playground piece is called, but it must be about two or more feet under water.
I drove by and wondered, but the cat was fine. All water logged, the cat was laying on the sidewalk as if dead. I stopped and received a plaintive meow, then a staggering towards me. I just hope the little guy found his way home.
