The devastation is as Andrew Baksh described. Besides the breach in the West Pond, the benches are gone and the trails are eroded as well as . The East Pond itself seems OK but the boardwalk and blind on the EP are both ruined making it difficult to see anything there.
On a happier note Tracy and I saw an American Bittern fly and land opposit what was once bench #2. Some Snow Geese are in as well.
