Photos taken of the Greensprings Interpretive Trail in James City County near the area of Jamestown and Greensprings near Williamsburg, Virginia. These photos were taken after approximately 12 hours of rain and wind due to Hurricane Irene. During a calmer band of the storm, we ran out with the dogs who had been in the house most of the past day. We timed our trip during a slow down in the storm. Before making it back to the house, the worst part of the storm began to arrive which caused the most damage and knocked out power. The water at this time was about 1 foot above where I have seen it previously. Along the footbridge crossing the main pond, the water was about a foot high under the bridge which is usually not under water. The main pond was flowing rapidly. Please compare photos to previous blog post which shows the area prior to the storm arriving.
