the river, that is. (I know this is the same date as the last post but I thought these photos deserved their own entry).
Ed and I drove downtown to do a couple of errands and noticed that the roads on the north side of the main street were closed and you could see water, lots of water. Turns out that with all the melting and rain that occurred over the last couple of days the river is running high. High enough that it found a new path and flooded the low lying areas including parking lots, yards and roads and I'm sure a few basements. We're on high ground so no flooding for us.
A small creek normally flows under the little bridge then into a sewer pipe, under the road and into the river .... doesn't look like the water can get into the river.
Lobby's bridge --- no clearance for any debris floating down the river.
The left side of the road is Lobby's Park, a park and campground. Only water as far as you could see.
Not sure but think this fellow was checking to see how close the water was to his door.
I think this guy was checking to see how deep the water was --- over his knees.
More flooding around some industrial buildings.
Zaph and I are walking by River Bend Park. We're staying on top of the levy as the path is under water. The hill is at least a couple of stories high and the river is usually at least 300 meters away.
The dam .... not the normal drop off.
