Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

Last Look for Flooding

11:15pm

In order to sleep better I headed up to the culvert to take a last look.
Basically the same conditions as 9pm.
60% clear.

I poked at the debris a bit and managed to get the whole grate clear.
Much easier to sleep knowing it is even better now than earlier.
Also easier knowing that it hasn't rained heavily in a while.
We will see what the dawn brings.

Fun tid bit:
The eldest 'junior ranger', 6, was entrusted with the GWLT walkie talkie earlier today during the flooding work and managed it to great effect.

The Cascades and Brook are so loud that at full volume the NOAA weather advisory was inaudible on the walkie talkie in my jacket pocket. The crashing white water stands out vividly in the dark.
