Here are some great new photos, folks. The three from professional photogapher, Janine Norton, show the mud line after the waters subsided, a great way to measure the height of the water. One from MRG member Bill Williams shows the the dam at Paradise Pond, which usually measures about 20 feet from lip to splash pool, but looks like a minor falls during Irene’s high point. Bill’s other photo is the Corps of Engineers’ barrier on West Street at the 1940 diversion. The barrier was constructed in the 1950s and hadn’t been used until Irene hit.
