    Great stuff man. I completely understand the feeling of worrying that someone will stop, thinking you're doing something bad. I like to film dust devil's out in the fields of Northwest Indiana in the late spring and often park just off the side of the road with my camera and tripod. I'm sure it looks kind of sketchy, but the farmers are always entertained when I tell them what I'm doing and tell me "good luck", and are on their way. Keep up the good work bro.
    Edit: Also, I think you would like to know that myself and several other of my friends who are also whip makers frequently discuss how your videos are perfect to put on while we are working on custom orders in our shops. Whip making can drag on for a long time, and your videos are great to listen to and glance up at from time to time while we work. We're big fans!

    A tip from someone raised in a rural area with numerous family-owned lakes:
    That frozen surface covering the entire body of water does slow down the draining. Even when the drain's not clogged, heavy precipitation on top of a frozen surface can cause area flooding. If you can find a way to break open 2 or 3 large holes in the surface, about 20 feet or so from the drain, that will usually make a huge difference in the flow rate. Like in the case of this video: if he could have tossed a few of the heavier stones out far enough and managed to break the surface in multiple places, that might have made a huge difference.

      Ja I was thinking like an unbalance in pressure so it will try to suck water out but because air is struggling to get in through another spot, the water will be significantly slower down. Sort of like emptying a coke bottle by turning it completely upside down. Then air and water which will move in opposite directions must use the same space. You make an air hole somewhere else then you get a good flow and movement of both air and water.

    Also from what I gathered about the smell, it probably had to do with anaerobic bacteria breaking down the dead material under all that ice. If there was more oxygen for the aerobic bacteria to eat, they could break the material down with very little smell; but since the swamp was stagnant and frozen over anaerobic breakdown occurred instead.

      @@the.mermaid.scientist Oddly enough, I received this information from gardening and methods to composting. To break down matter you need to flip and turn it, to allow more air in there; not only will it break things down quickly, it'll get alarmingly hot, (like hot steam levels) which apparently anaerobic bacteria dislike/ can't grow well in.
      Without air, the anaerobic bacteria thrive. It'll still break things down, but it'll be much slower and smellier.

    Next time you have something like that green post in the water next to the culvert, you should tie an orange, hi vis ribbon at the water level you start at. That way we could really see the water level drop and track the progress, even time it.

    The original issues could have been the internal clog in the pipe that cleared at 2.18, and the board on the grid at 3.04
    After that it was draining really fast.

    Hydro-physics is cool. My son's grandfather was a hydro-physicist here in Norway. He was so interesting to listen to. Whirlpools, or 'malstrøm' as they are called here are amazing. Some of the fjords a bit further north from where I live have some incredibly forceful ones.

If you do the same thing and draw the line to the south it curves the opposite direction. This is what defines the direction large storm systems spin.
