Page down to see flood pictures of Warren Pond and Hatch Hill, all the way down to Cooper Hill.

This is Lake Warren spilling over its sides. For those of you who don't know the lake, usually, you walk down a small slope to get to the water. 

The overflow, close up:

This next photo walks us up the road a piece, it zooms in on that first photo. This is the road beside the dam. Wherever you see water here is usually road or woods.

The Lake Warren dam, with the water rushing over it and flooding the road.

Just as a point of reference, this is the same shot a few days after the flood when they're cleaning up the area at the Lake Warren dam. You can see the exposed culvert at the base of the dam. The roads supposed to go over that, but clearly it's been washed away.

Here's the Lake Warren dam... the water's spilling over the road. This was taken at 1 p.m. October 9th.

Here's the same road, same time:

This is Warren Pond dam... with the water coming over the road. The same two spots in the road, after the water had gone down a little more.

A flooded road on Warren Pond.

As a point of refernce, this is Lake Warren dam, taken a few days after the flood. It looks serene, doesn't it.

This is the Warren Pond dam, the flood was over and the Army Corp of Engineers had shored it up with sandbags and such.

This looks like it's up by Warren Pond somewhere

I'm not sure where this is

Chase's Mill in East Alstead, just below the dam at Mill Hollow. Look how high the water is! And you can see where the road has washed out, where water is pouring off the road in the background there.

This is a close-up of the water going over the dam.

Here's Chase's Mill. The water's up to the foundation.

The stretch of hill coming down from East Alstead below Chase's Mill.

This is Hatch Hill in East Alstead:

Still more of the same stretch Route 123 coming down from East Alstead.

Somewhere on Route 123.

Hatch Hill in East Alstead.

This is Tom Hancock doing a bit of cleanup a few days later.

This is the house at the bottom of that stretch.

These the houses just at the foot of the hill going up to the lake.  I believe this would be looking down toward the town barn where they store the road salt  a little further on the left. That's what I kept thinking but I didn't realize the washout went up that far. But of course it did... If you look at what's coming out of the lake in that picture of the dam (you'll have to scroll down the page for that one), it makes sense. 

Same area below Chase's Mill.

Let's keep walking down the road. There's the Alstead Town Barn down the road to the left.

A shot from the foot of that white building.

Here's is the Ramsey truck:

This is the Ramsey house, in its post-flood condemned state:

And just as a point of reference, here is how you would have found the Ramsey house had you visited before the flood.
