Flooding most foul


So in case you've been away from the news the DC area has been slammed with some torrential downpours and flooding over the past few days. This is probably not as bad as the weather that hit Boston a few months back, but there seems to be water everywhere, we even have a river in the back yard.
Of course the rain didn't just hit the sprawling megalopolis of Singers Glen, but also the huge Eastern Mennonite University Campus, source of the Blacks Run River. The Blacks Run which is both the name, and a general description of the water color begins it's ignominious life on EMU's campus. Although normally the stream looks like a glorified trickle, today it is closer to class 5 rapids.

But the source pond, although ineffective at filtering out pollutants is quite picturesque and home to a family of ducks.
