Too Much Rain

Thanks to Jimmy Reynolds for this image… he writes…

“James,

Due to the deluge of rain we received in Demopolis, this is a picture of the water lifting a manhole cover off of a manhole on my property. This manhole is located about 25 yards from Whitfield Canal (which was roaring like a Colorado white water rafting adventure). The pressure from the water was enough to lift this solid metal cover 4-6” into the air and cause it to “dance” around. This went on for over 3 ½ hours. Enjoy!”
