Sunny during a heavy rain storm. Huh. I’ve no doubt of the ecological and hydrological impacts of beavers and their dams, but this is not during a rainstorm.

Probably just after, but yes technically it does not look like a rain storm is occurring at the moment.

Storm could also be further along up the river.

That’s what I figured. If it was raining over the clear part of the river, I’d assume all the runoff from the land around it would make it muddy as well. The heavy storm is probably up river and washing all the muddy water down, until it gets blocked by the beaver dam.

“after a storm” would be more suitable for clarity and to get the point across with the least overhead.

At any rate, beavers be cool as hell.

Sun and rainstorms can definitely overlap.

My mom used to say that when this occurred, it indicated that “the devil is beating his wife.” I have never before considered the implications of this, but I looked it up and I still don’t know.

The illustration of the idiomatic phrase can be explained as that of the devil spitting the fire of hell (the sun rays) and his wife’s tears (the rain).

I guess that makes sense?

Neat. Just below the dam you can see where the river is changing course as a middle finger to said beavers.

Give the beavers a week. They are getting their building permit
