Bogs

Brian -
They are nothing but bogs and are degrading as they float...they will break completely apart quickly and will look just like the wetland debris you see after every flood on shorelines and lawns.

The ones that do settle somewhere are usually on front of some homes and eventually will wash away/break apart by wave action.

I doubt any would be strong enough to make Newville much less Indianford.

I saw this same scenario in 1973 after a tornado went through and raised the water 5 feet overnight. The next day it looked like the Normandy Invasion of ships floating in the lake.
