Heavy Rain on Lake Marinole
19 April 2011
On Tuesday, April 19, 2011, the area around Lake Marinole received 1-1/2 - 3 inches of rain in a period of a few hours. The water flowing into the lake raised the level of the water several inches above the sidewalk surrounding the lake. These photos and videos were taken about 2:00 in the afternoon to document the level of the water and the ability of the spillway and stilling basin to handle the run-off at the south end of the lake. During the period observed the stilling basin did not overflow, but it was full nearly to the top. |
