Mother Nature plants a wet one

No wonder College Drive got washed out! It was caused by record rainfall of 67.9 mm Tuesday night. That's about three times the former record set in 1940. Add to that 37.6 mm of rain yesterday, you have 105.5 mm in just two days.

No wonder College Drive got washed out!

It was caused by record rainfall of 67.9 mm Tuesday night. That's about three times the former record set in 1940.

Add to that 37.6 mm of rain yesterday, you have 105.5 mm in just two days.

Officials think the rain may have caused a break in a beaver pond.

Better weather is on the horizon for the weekend however. Tomorrow will be sunny and 21, Saturday mostly sunny with isolated showers and Sunday will be sunny and 24.
