Comments:
Highly straightened segment DS of Court St bridge. Series of frequent recent flood events starting with ice jam in 2007, then local microburst storms in 2008, 2009, 2010; Irene in 2011 was actually less of an impact than these more localized events. "Cleaned out" in this segment, plane bed with only a hint of riffle formation and virtually no wood.
