All lot activity this last weekend considering the rain and the floods.

Saturday, the 19th. A large turtle at Norris Lake road where it adjoins 124. On a related note, I came across a smaller turtle on the way to this junction (only alive) and attempting to cross Ross Rd. The turtles are no surprise giving the rain.

Also on Ross. Rd on that same date. An opossum about midway and a small cat near the 78 junction.

Wednesday the 23rd. Raccoon on Hwy. 78 West, maybe a half a mile west of Hugh Howell Rd. and a white tailed deer also westbound but further in towards Snellville. This was near Lake Lucerne Drive (not road). The recent activity is no doubt a result of the weather. Lake Lucerne and the Yellow River was particually effected by some pretty extreme flooding. Also adjacent to this area along the Yellow River is a wildlife ranch that I'm sure was not on safe ground at the time. I had a pretty good look at the river when it was running high on Monday evening and it was close to consuming the bridge on 78. A scary sight to behold if you imagine yourself falling into the water and being plowed under the bridge by its magnificent current. I will be checking more into the damage at the wildlife ranch.
