Frequently asked questions
There is no storm and the cellar is still damp. Is Harbor Brook the reason?
On filled brook ground, yes. Parts of downtown sit where the channel ran before the mills straightened it, and fill over that line holds water whether or not the gauge moves. A mill-era block can wet from below on a clear week for the same reason a rock cut wets from the side: the path is older than the weather. Find the original channel on a plat before you chase the roof.
The brook is small. How does October still fill downtown?
The hills are the basin. Trap rock sheds October's 4.49 inches off the Hanging Hills in minutes, and Harbor Brook is a mill channel, not a finished gorge. Downtown is then the plunge pool. Size of the brook is not size of the ridge.
The house is cut into the rock. Why is the uphill wall wet after the brook has dropped?
That wall is holding the ridge, not the brook. Water that entered the trap-rock talus above the house is still moving down days later. The brook sets the flood question; the cut sets the seepage question, and they are not the same October job.
