Whoosh (updated)

Another line of thunderstorms with heavy rain passed through Rensselaer this afternoon. My informal rain gauge suggested we got about an inch of rain. Clearing the debris from a drain can create an awesome little whirlpool.

 On a completely different topic, I noticed a new concrete pad in Hal Gray Park. Anyone know what it is for?

Update: I heard from a good source that a commemorative bench will be placed here.
