At 7:45am we had just said goodby to our son (off to school) when we heard this low rumbling noise that got louder and louder. It sounded like 20 plow trucks coming right into our house. Realizing it was the frozen over Trout Brook releasing in a large flood after the 1 1/2 days of rain, we raced out of the house and onto our tour to catch the tail end of a 5 min Super Flood. The water had gone well over the potholes and left large ice chucks everywhere. We still managed to watch large boulder being moved down the river and then into "the whirlpool", part of our cave system. For the rest of the day the water remained at normal flood stage levels and I got a few interesting pictures. Go to the link (on the cave's facebook page ) to see them. Wow!
